Upshaw
|
• Elizabeth “Jean” Upshaw, Urban Teacher Education Program, has vivid memories of growing up black in Clarksville, Ark. She shared those memories with a television crew for the History Channel’s programSave Our History. The “Voices of Civil Rights” aired Feb. 12. Her story also has been included in the U.S. Library of Congress’ oral history archive of the Civil Rights Movement. She recently received a letter and certificate confirming the honor. Upshaw was attending an AARP conference in Chicago last August when a film crew from the History Channel approached the group. She said she volunteered to tell her story, not expecting it to receive this much attention.
