Abstract
Description
In this interview, East Memphian John Fisher recounts his activism and experiences in the early 1960's as well as his later coordination with Jim Lawson and other Civil Rights leaders through his connections with St. Mary's Cathedral, including the highly spontaneous "Memphis Cares" demonstration in Crump Stadium.
