Legacy Voices of Civil Rights Heroes (History Tech #29)


Listen Later

Civil rights leaders Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington, Fred Korematsu, and Cesar Chavez are no longer with us, but their message lives on through the voices of their descendants, Kenneth Morris, Karen Korematsu, and Anthony Chavez.  Join Glenn as he shares their stories and educational resources presented at the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) national conference in Boston, November 2014.
 

* Frederick Douglas Family Initiatives
“It’s easier to build strong children than repair broken adults.”
* Fred Korematsu Institute
 Much later in life, my father told me “I can’t do this anymore. It’s up to you now to share this story.”
* Cesar Chavez Foundation
“We don’t need a perfect political system. We need perfect participation.”
