Episode 93: The Beatles and the Civil Rights Movement

from Everything is a Primary Source · host Eric Salmonsen

"In My Life" Dr. Kitty Oliver's life and career as a reflection of the Beatles eraDr. Kitty Oliver cites her experience seeing The Beatles at the Gator Bowl in the 1960s as the event that changed everything for her. The Fab Four from Liverpool’s arrival to the Sunshine State during their famous 1964 US tour marked a momentous change not only for her, but for the state of Florida as well. The Beatles standing by their convictions and refusing to play to a segregated audience, made all the difference to my guest as that night’s events propelled her into a new world and its possibilities.
