Guest Speaker, Tim Hayes
After studying texts about the Civil Rights Movement with Tr. Nathan this winter, students in grades 7/8 had the opportunity to hear from Tr Liza's friend and neighbor, Tim Hayes, who was a member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Black Panther Party. Tim spoke about what led him to a life of activism when he was in his early teens, his participation in the "Bloody Sunday" March across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Alabama, and his time organizing with the Panthers. After sharing some stories, Tim answered students' questions. It was an honor to be in the presence of such thoughtful students and such a wise elder.
