Sinta, Vinicio Jackson, Larry

Description

Mr. Jackson was raised in segregated Hearne, Texas, but spent part of his youth in Los Angeles and Houston, where he was exposed to integration (at least compared to his hometown) and civil rights activism. In Houston, he became involved in SNCC; later, he moved to Austin with the goal of starting a chapter there. Mr. Jackson talks about the breakfast and day care programs he ran as the founder of SNCC in Austin. He also talks about his collaboration with Anglo and Mexican American activists and politicians. Mr. Jackson also discussed the role of children education aid programs in civil rights activism.9 video recordings (1 hr., 31 min., 27 sec.) : sd., col. ; digital
