Title
Voter Registration Program, April 9, 1965
Description
Two art professors, Sheila McNally and Susan Mangam, and one student, Cheryl Edmonds ‘67, joined the civil rights protesters who marched from Selma to Montgomery in 1965. In this article from The Mount Holyoke News, they describe their experience traveling to Alabama by bus, sleeping in the pews of a Methodist church, and marching to the capitol. In particular, they note how the experience allowed them to recognize their white, middle class identity and in doing so, were able to be more critical of themselves and their “comfortable standards.”
