Visit VCU Libraries' Voices of Freedom where you can access video oral histories of twelve leaders of the Civil Rights movement in Virginia. Transcripts of the complete interviews are also available from this site.
Throughout Black History Month, we will spotlight different individuals who participated in the Voices of Freedom project. Today, watch (or read) the oral history of Dr. Joyce E. Glaise, educator, community activist, and former member of the Danville, Virginia City Council. Dr. Glaise discusses the racial situation in Danville, Dr. Martin Luther King's trip to Danville in 1963 and the church's role in the Civil Rights movement.
