. . . who presented “Visiting History and Heroes” at the NAELA Annual Meeting in Whasington, D.C. Hyatt Capitol Hill in DC; NAELA Annual meeting: “Elders, now in their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s, participated in the campaign for civil rights which led to the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act. This program is a presentation of an eight-day, 2,000-mile journey, inspired by the desire to lift their stories off the pages of history and make them personal to those who will be the future gatekeepers of civil rights. It is a story of law students meeting elders who changed their lives and to help us
remember that elders who now need our guidance and counsel are people who led lives that changed communities, and indeed a country.”
