Show Notes
Dorothy Prevost, the last surviving mother of the New Orleans Four, passed away at 94. Her daughter, Tessie, was one of the first Black students to desegregate schools in 1960. Along with Leona Tate and Gail Etienne, they faced daily threats and national attention. Their bravery sparked wider change in the Civil Rights Movement, leading to key laws like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Prevosts funeral will be held this Saturday at New Hope Baptist Church.
