In this interview Mrs. Eaton discusses encountering racism on the bus as a child, the importance of education, influential members of her community, such as E.D. Nixon, internal class struggles, the limitations of African American leadership, her role during the Movement, and her husband Herbert's divestment efforts in South Africa while at the University of Rochester.  00:43:00Dr Rhonda JonesnoEducation,Civil Rights Movement,Segregation,Montgomery AlabamaA memoir about growing up in the Southhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dgitalduchess/2016/07/18/kicking-up-the-dust-excavating-the-past-in-the-presentHistoryhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dgitalduchess/2016/07/18/kicking-up-the-dust-excavating-the-past-in-the-present/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/dgitalduchess/2016/07/18/kicking-up-the-dust-excavating-the-past-in-the-presentMon, 18 Jul 2016 20:30:00 GMTKicking Up the Dust: Excavating the Past in the PresentCentered on three themes "Public History" emphasizes people’s history, applied knowledge, and cultural resource management.  The most important underlying theme of Public History is to make history usable, accessible, and service-oriented to a broad general audience.   00:01:00Dr Rhonda Jonesnopublic outreach,museums,archives,oral history,historic markersPublic historians disseminate information to general audiences through churches, museums, libraries, archives, historical houses or societies, agencies, private
