Ch. 2 - Crossing the Color Line


Listen Later

Discrimination may have been illegal by 1969, but it wasn't improbable. In this second solo episode, I reflect on my role in integrating Atlanta's all-White Westminster Schools -- and on the lifelong lessons I learned growing up as an outsider.

During our time together, I recall my personal evolution from "Black Girl #8," to parent of a legacy student, to trustee of an academic institution I was once reluctant to even return to. Join me in this intimate look at how I found answers in adversity, kindness where I didn't expect it, and strength in sharing my academic experiences with others.
