Description
Note: Original video and audio have been edited for clarity. Althemese Barnes interviews Laura Dixie and Daisy Young, two notable women from the Tallahassee Civil Rights Movement, about their involvement. They talk about the organization of protests, which were mostly carried out by students, and about the Tallahassee bus boycotts and diner sit-ins. They both personally knew the two students who were arrested prior to the protests and visited and provided for all the students who were arrested thereafter. They talk about the other women involved, support from the NAACP, their tasks and contributions, hardships, personal stories of what encouraged them to be involved in the movement, and how it brought people together.
