Cecil B. Moore Freedom Fighters | The Colored Girl Museum lives on
Manage episode 399091024 series 1924283
Philadelphia’s civil rights movement included the Cecil B. Moore Freedom Fighters, the "young militants" who protested and helped desegregate Girard College, which was a school intended for “poor, white male orphans.” We hear stories of police harassment and songs of freedom from the former teenagers who followed their leader and Philadelphia NAACP branch’s president’s words: “If you stand together, you can make a difference.”
Then, Vashti DuBois shares good news about the future of The Colored Girl Museum, which has received a zoning variance to continue living in the Germantown house that is her home and museum.
