Welcome back to rememberinghistory.com where we are remembering history and we’re making it. In this podcast series, we are remembering the unknown (or lesser known) heroes of the civil rights movement.  More specifically, I should say that we are remembering and honoring the lesser-known martyrs in civil rights—those men and women who fought for voting rights, housing rights, and other forms of equal rights and the people who staunchly fought against segregation, lynching, police brutality and other forms of violence.  In the last podcast, we remembered Corporal Roman Ducksworth who refused to be removed from the front of a bus travelling through Mississippi. We remembered Rev. George Washington Lee who fought for voting rights.
