Being Arrested/School Desegregation

from Looking Back/Moving Forward · host Anthony J Harris

In this episode, I describe two events that happened to me during the Civil Rights Movement in Hattiesburg, both of which offer poignant stories of some of the challenges I encountered during that movement. One of the events was being arrested for picketing the Forrest County Courthouse in 1964. The second is a description of what it was like being one of five Black students who desegregated all-White Thames Junior High School in 1966.
