Rev. Carolyn Abrams - Desegregation: The Good and the Bad
Listen now
Description
Rev. Carolyn Abrams is perhaps best known as the mother of voting rights advocate, Stacy Abrams, but she has accomplished much more than being the matriarch of a successful family. Abrams grew up in Hattiesburg during the 1960s. She recalls attending segregated schools, being barred from entering whites-only establishments, and how parents and teachers stressed education as the key to a better future. She describes the challenges of today and the need for young people to return to the Church.
