Stories of the Quest for Civil Rights

http://www.crmvet.org/nars/staugbar.htm 

     This is an interview with a woman named Barbara Allen, who was very active in the Civil Rights movements in New York and Florida. She was part of clubs and fundraisers, just like Anne Moody, who wrote, "Coming of Age in Mississippi." She would go to sit-ins even though they were very violent and dangerous. She would risk her life to stand up for her race and make sure they were treated with respect, like the whites. The whites were willing to kill people to keep things the way they were, but the blacks weren't going to tolerate that. They were willing to risk getting killed to stand up for their rights.
