I love that people use photos from the UCLA LA Times project. I’m so glad I was a part of this! coolchicksfromhistory: 1969: Doris Derby displays items made by the Poor People’s Corp. of Mississippi, a cooperative which set up workshops for the training of poor blacks.   Doris Derby was a founding member of the New York branch of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.  She also co-founded the Free Southern Theater which used theater to educate southern African Americans about their history and the importance of the civil rights movement.  Today Doris is the Director of the Office of African American Student Services and Programs at Georgia State University.
