Listen to Mrs Hollis in her own words concerning the sit-in.
Mrs Hollis speaks of growing up in segregated Mississippi.

These are excellent videos. We lived in Simpson County, MS when my kids were small and I used to take them to that library in Jackson. This was in the mid 1970s so it was all integrated by that time. Great series you have been doing!
