He was my mentor, like Dr. King, Dr. King asked him he said, “well, what are we going to do? The only people that are willing to go now are the children, we can’t put the children out there.” And Bevel figured out a way. So what did he do? He came out to the schools. He couldn’t come on the school grounds, so he set up perimeters, away from the school grounds. On the street, and he asked different people “who are the leaders?” If you were a leader of the student government, he wanted you. If you were the leader of the football team, he wanted you. Well see, I just happened to be the leader of my cheerleaders. So being agile, and somewhat loud, he wanted me. And I was so excited about that. The different leaders that he had were those of us that really knew how to lead. Even though the majority of the leaders were the girls. But guess what, the boys, all we had to do was get the girls. The guys they would come, and they did come. But we had to sign pledges. They would give us a pledge. And the pledge was telling us that this was a nonviolent movement. It was a spiritual movement. And people ask me during my presentations today, well, “why do you call it D-Day?” I said D-Day was a day of deliverance. We were going to be delivered from this racism in Birmingham, Alabama Duration Length of time involved (seconds, minutes, hours, days, class periods, etc.) audio snippet: 2 minutes full interview: 35 minutes Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
