Description: Item Description Title Septima Clark--outtakes News Story Number WIS Awareness Story 19 Contributing Institution University of South Carolina. Moving Image Research Collections Digital Collection Civil Rights Films from Moving Image Research Collections Collection Name WIS-TV: Awareness Date 1979 Description Septima Clark, often referred to as the "grandmother" or "mother" of the Civil Rights movement, speaks to a class of African-American university students on her civil rights experiences. Seated at a table next to University of South Carolina professor Dr. Grace McFadden, Ms. Clark recounts activities with Rosa Parks; the start of the Montgomery, Alabama Bus Boycott; and escaping from a fire-bombed church in Mississippi. The poor audio quality in the early portion of the piece is caused by irreversible degradation of the 16mm film element's magnetic soundtrack. Geographic Location Columbia (S.C.)
