On The Bus Uw Civil Rights Pilgrimage - The House Of Podcasts

A young woman in a white skirt walked down the street in front of Central High School in Little Rock Arkansas in 1957. A mob of screaming white citizens spit on her, threw trash and tossed spoiled tomato's.  Her desire to go to school, their raw fear and hate, that image went around the world. They soiled her clothes but not her spirit.  We toured the still active high school. It's a national park site now. Joel Allen talked about the pain of times. We read poems from Londonderry. Oppression is universal too.
