    An update on the Suzy Post project.

     

    When I signed up to do a project on civil rights activist Suzanne Post, I was highly unaware of what all I would gain from that project. Suzy is a phenomenal woman, and […]

    She lives in a quaint home, with a nice garden, and pink window frames.  The discerning trademark was a bumper sticker on the front door calling attention to Arizona’s controversial “show me your papers” law.  She […]

    If I have found out anything about Suzy Post over the course of our research this semester, to be quite frank, it is that she has one hell of a spirit.  Up to this point, much of the information we have […]

    The NAACP became a powerhouse for the Civil Rights movement in Kentucky, due in large part to a handful of strong, dedicated Kentucky women.  The association became especially prominent beginning in 1940, when […]

    I’m glad that you brought up the significance of small contributions. They made the movement.

    I like how you targeted how parents attempted to shelter their children. Do you feel as though this was less true with white children, since they were born into a higher position?

    theraptordr wrote a new post, Self Respect and Fear Stem From Segregation 8 years ago

    Although slavery’s end created new freedoms, it also gave way to new injustices.  A society developed, especially in the south, in which racial segregation dominated all parts of life.  Two key themes that stand […]
