Abstract
Description
Here, interviewee and Memphian Roscoe Dixon talks about his work with Operation Push in the 1970's, and the changing trends he sees in the Civil Rights Movement and African American communities since the death of Dr. King. He explains how the Great Society Programs opened educational opportunities to some African American Memphians for the first time.
