In this episode, we meet Penny, who, grew up in the Mississippi Delta in a time where there were lines that couldn’t be crossed.  At a young age, she was aware of not crossing  lines drawn by society including her parents.  After growing up and becoming awakened, she’s  made a difference,
She tells us of meeting and photographing Ernest Cole who came to Mississippi to photograph the differences between people of color and caucasians.
Then we later hear how the shifts in civil rights in New Orleans began to happen with the RaultCenter and Howard Johnson fires. And what happened in Southern University in 1972.
My guests this week are Penny, Regina, Royd and Frank
