Two Heroes From History

Today, I challenge you to join me to learn about two fabulous heroes from history – even though you are probably not familiar with either name. This is the kind of history I love to present. It’s challenging and yet so intriguing to take the time to learn something completely unexpected and at the same time unfamiliar.

We will focus on Daisy Bates. Ms. Bates was a civil rights leader, a journalist, and courageous warrior who led the students that became known as The Little Rock Nine. How did this Arkansas woman lead movement that would shock the nation, focus attention on segregation, and caused President Eisenhower to send federal troops into open Central High school in Little Rock, Arkansas?

Then we will look at the controversial and complex Reverend Vernon Johns. He led the most influential African-American church in Alabama, pushing the educated elite congregation to become involved in the civil rights movement. When he was eventually fired, the church brought in a new pastor they considered less controversial. The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.!

DON’T STOP READING!

You may be thinking that you don’t want to sign up because you’ve never heard of either of these people. I understand that. If I said I was talking about Lincoln, D-Day, or Henry Fonda, it’s easy to make the choice to sign up. But once in a while, I want to take the opportunity to introduce you to history you don’t know. I hope you’ll take the chance and sign up.

COST

I ask for a voluntary donation of $5.00. If you cannot afford it or feel my programs are not worth $5.00, you are invited to come for free; I am struggling but supporting a family, so I understand with compassion living on a tight budget!
