  • Former Civil Rights Activists Continue Their Efforts Today By Sara Halterman | WCNewsmagazine Many people joined the Civil Rights Movement to fight against injustice and to gain equal access for African Americans around the country. The Movement drew many people from various backgrounds who believed in human rights. The Movement produced charismatic leaders and ordinary folks alike who shared a common goal in gaining civil liberties fair to all mankind. Today, many former activists continue their work in the Civil Rights Movement through grass-roots organizing as they once did forty years ago. Many are supporting non-profit organizations through funding or employment. Some are sharing their stories through speaking engagements, writing books about their experiences in the Movement, and as result are highlighting the need for continual efforts today. The students in the civil rights class met with former activists and visited with organizations that continue the Civil Rights Movement. One of the activists students met included Constance Curry who served on the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in the 1960s. She was the first white woman to join the committee and was active in the Movement for many years. From 1964 to 1975, she worked as a field representative for the American Friends Services Committee. Ms. Currys support in the Movement included registering voters and participating in marches. Ms. Curry continues her work with human rights today. She recently retired as Director of Human Services for the city of Atlanta. Currently, she teaches at Emory University at the Institute for Womens Studies. She is also a writer who recently published her own book entitled Silver Rights, recounting one familys plight in desegregation of a Mississippi school. Curry has also co-written and edited numerous books and produced a documentary called, Intolerable Burden, which discusses the mixed legacies of desegregation. She participates in speaking engagements and lectures with people across the nation in an effort to educate them about the Movement. Ms. Curry works with public schools systems trying to eradicate the resegregation of the education system and the school house to the jailhouse pipeline. Another former activist WCUs students met was Hollis Watkins, a member of SNCC and the first Mississippian to ever join the organization. Mr. Watkins first joined the Movement in 1961 participating in marches, sit-ins, and registering voters. He went to jail on numerous occasions for his involvement in the Civil Rights Movement. Today, Mr. Watkins leads Southern Echo, a non-profit organization based in Jackson, Mississippi. The organization was established in 1981 to teach leadership development and to provide educational training to people in the community. Mr. Watkins models his organization after lessons he learned from his participation in the Civil Rights Movement, for example, a multi-generational framework. He believes more progress is made when both old and young people work together. He notes that during the Movement a multi-generational framework was implemented in many of the organizations he was involved with. He believes that the success of these grassroots organizations depended on all ages working toward a common vision. Southern Echo works with the community to educate people about laws and legislation affecting the lives of people in the region. The organization helped change re- districting in the area to bring more African Americans and more progressive whites to the legislature. They have put pressure on the public school system to be more accountable for their actions when it comes to issues such as funding, teacher shortages, and quality of education. The goal of Southern Echo is to inform the community in a comprehensive way so that local people can make critical decisions about changes in their community. Mr. Watkins says, It's about inspiring, motivating to get people to do more organizing and mobilizing for issues that affect them. Hollis Watkins and Constance Curry are just a couple of the many people in this country who have carried their work from the Civil Rights Movement over into their every day lives. They have taken their experiences and beliefs and applied them to modern day causes of social injustice. Both believe in educating people about the Civil Rights Movement and about the struggles and injustices that continue today. Mr. Watkins noted that he is, working to empower local grass-roots communities, and that through education, mobilization, and change, people can improve their quality of life and their overall well- being in the same way people did during the Civil Rights Movement. WCnewsmagazine 13 Westerns students sing freedom songs with Mr. Hollis Watkins, an activist in the Civil Rights Movement. Constance Curry: An activist in the Civil Rights Movement signs her book Silver Rights for WCU students.
