- Description:
- Sandra Kimble Rucker is a native of College Park, Georgia. As a child, she attended Jefferson Franklin Beavers Elementary School. Her time as a student at Eva Thomas High School overlapped with the integration of the surrounding high schools and by the time Rucker graduated from College Park High School in 1971 (a formerly all-white high school), she had attended three separate secondary schools – Eva Thomas and Headland being the other two. At the time of this interview, Rucker lived in Topeka, Kansas, where she founded Sandra Rucker’s Angels, a non-profit organization dedicated to American Service veterans. A video recording of this oral history will be made available soon.
