Identifier: mus-coh_adickess

Description: Oral history.; Interview conducted on October 21, 1999 with Dr. Sandra Adickes (born 1933). In 1963, Dr. Adickes taught African Americans in freedom school efforts in Prince Edward County, Virginia. In 1964, she was recruited to teach in Mississippi Freedom Schools. Dr. Adickes lobbied, raised funds, solicited book contributions, and recruited teachers. She taught in a freedom school in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for a six-week session, and she accompanied some of her students in an effort to integrate Hattiesburg's public library. After being refused service at a Kress store because she was with an African American, she was arrested and charged with vagrancy. Later, she sued in the U.S. Supreme Court and won a cash settlement, which was dispersed for education to people who had been active in the civil rights movement.
