Interview conducted on 10-21-1999 with Dr. Sandra Adickes (born 1933). In 1963, Dr. Adickes taught African-Americans in freedom school efforts in Prince Edward County, Virginia. In 1964, she was recruited to teach in Mississippi Freedom Schools. Dr. Adickes lobbied, raised funds, solicited book contributions, and recruited teachers. She taught in a freedom school in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, for a six-week session, and she accompanied some of her students in an effort to integrate Hattiesburg's public library. After being refused service at a Kress store because she was with an African-American, she was arrested and charged with vagrancy. Later, she sued in the U.S. Supreme Court and won a cash settlement, which was dispersed for education to people who had been active in the civil rights movement. This interview is part of the Civil Rights Documentation Project, funded by the Mississippi Humanities Council, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, and the University of Southern Mississippi.
