We discuss how things have changed from the 60s to now, how we can actively engage in a nonviolent way when people make discriminatory comments, what the impact of overturning Roe v.

As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day in January & Black History Month in February, I couldn't think of a better way to observe them than by interviewing the incomparable Joan Trumpauer Mulholland. If you don't know who she is...just Google her!! You've probably seen her mugshot or the picture of her sitting at a lunch counter sit-in protest at 19 years old in your history books or most Civil Rights documentaries about the Freedom Riders. I was so honored and humbled when she and her son, Loki Mulholland agreed to sit down with me for a 2-part interview. We started off by having Ms. Joan walk me through her Civil Rights experience as a White woman born and raised in the South who felt a personal calling to be a part of the change in dismantling discrimination and racism. I don't usually do video interviews for my podcast...but Ms. Joan's interview was too special not to be honored and memorialized virtually! So please check out the episode on my YouTube channel as well! As she shares in her interview, this country is going backwards and it's very concerning that all of the work of the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s is under attack again. Make sure to tune in next week for Part 2!
You may not know it, but you've probably seen Joan Trumpauer Mulholland's mugshot. Or the back of her head in the world-famous photo of the Woolworth's sit-in in Jackson, MS as civil rights activists were harassed and assaulted by a mob of white segregationists. Joan was an activist in the Civil Rights movement who by the age of 23, had spent two months on death row at Parchman prison for participating in the Freedom Rides of 1961, had been nearly killed by the Klan in Mississippi, and had stood her ground for justice at countless sit-ins, protests, and rallies. Despite coming from a wealthy, white family in the South, she knew the world would only become a more just place if she accepted her call to become a peacemaker and advocate on behalf of her disenfranchised neighbors. And she has inspired generations of others behind her to believe in their agency too. As her son has pointed out, she was and is an “ordinary hero.”In this special ‘live” episode, we get to hear from Ms. Mulholland herself on the events of her life and how she found the courage to be a peacemaker time and again. We were also joined by her son Loki, who is now an accomplished educator, filmmaker, and advocate for justice himself, on the work they are doing together today to “educate to end hate.” We loved getting to hear from these two, and were so inspired by their courage and humility.

“Anyone can make a difference. Find a problem, get some friends together, and go fix it. Remember you don't have to change the world, just change your world.” –Joan Trumpauer Mulholland In the early 1960s, in the segregated South, a white teenager, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, made a conscientious decision to join the Civil Rights struggle. In doing so she put her life at risk, but given her family history (the first relative to come to America did so as an indentured servant in the 1600s; her grandmother was a suffragette) she could not sit idly by as blacks were treated like second-class citizens. She organized non-violent sit-ins, attended a predominately black college, and participated in protests including the March on Washington and the Selma to Montgomery March. She was arrested and held on death row; she was spit on, dragged off her stool and threatened with violence at a Woolworths lunch counter sit-in, yet she never relented. Now readers of all ages can learn more about this extraordinary woman in She Stood for Freedom: The Untold Story of a Civil Rights Hero, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland (Shadow Mountain, 2016). The picture book is for ages 4 to 8; the illustrated biography is for ages 8 and older and includes primary source photographs and documents from the period.

“Anyone can make a difference. Find a problem, get some friends together, and go fix it. Remember you don’t have to change the world, just change your world.” –Joan Trumpauer Mulholland In the early 1960s, in the segregated South, a white teenager, Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, made a conscientious decision to join the Civil Rights struggle. In doing so she put her life at risk, but given her family history (the first relative to come to America did so as an indentured servant in the 1600s; her grandmother was a suffragette) she could not sit idly by as blacks were treated like second-class citizens.

Joan Trumpauer Mulholland oral history interview conducted by John Dittmer in Arlington, Virginia, 2013-03-17.
Welcome to Okracast, the podcast of the Southern Foodways Alliance! This week we're commemorating the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the landmark legislation desegregating places of public accommodation. The law was largely made possible by courageous demonstrators who protested in public spaces like beaches, libraries and lunch counters. We'll hear from Joan Trumpauer Mulholland, a Civil Rights activist who participated in the dangerous 1963 sit-in at Woolworth's in Jackson, MS. Also, John T Edge, Director of the Southern Foodways Alliance, challenges us to consider the complex legacy of the Civil Rights Act of '64. Visit www.southernfoodways.org for more.
