To support my efforts to create more clips please donate to me at www.patreon.com/allinaday. What can I say but my God what a magnificent person - Wise and kind and deep–and a great storyteller. She grew up at a time when Virginia closed all the public schools after the Supreme Court Brown vs. Board of Education decision. When she refers to the school she is referring to the public school she attended which was shut down for years. She is an ordinary citizen selected to tell her stories for my 1990 TV series, Making Sense of the Sixties. I never forgot her and the beautiful, thoughtful way she presents her memories. I maintain the privacy of everyone I interviewed back in 1989 and do not release any names without their permission.
