- Description:
- Becky Greenberg was born in 1945 and grew up in Palatka, Fl. After graduating from Emory University, she became a writer for The Great Speckled Bird while also working for the Atlanta, Ga. chapter of the ACLU. She was later involved in the US China Peoples Friendship Association where she organized educational events to improve relations between the United States and the People's Republic of China. She is currently retired and resides in St. Augustine, Fl.
In this interview, Becky Greenberg describes her childhood growing up in Palatka, Fl., her educational and family history, and segregation in the Palatka and St. Augustine, Fl. areas. She then explores her coming-of-age at Emory University and during her travels through Europe after her college graduation. As a highly-involved former member of The Great Speckled Bird, Greenberg offers insight into the operations, ideology and dynamics of the newspaper and its legacy. - Metadata URL:
