Black History! American History!

It was 56 years ago when fifteen Hampton Institute students were arrested for refusing to take seats in the segregated balcony at the Phoebus Lee Theater now known as the American Theater. Find out what drove their activism as we hear from two of the students, Lucy Thornton and Hulbert James, along with Linda Holmes, Oral Historian, Civil Rights Project, Hampton History Museum. Plus, we'll preview the upcoming PBS documentary, "Tell Them We Are Rising: The Story of Historically Black Colleges and Universities", and find out how Hampton University played a pivotal role in the production. And we continue our Black History Month series, "Excelling In Spite of Jim Crow".
