Today we continue to share little-known stories of the struggle during the early 60s with an interview with James Armstrong. He recounts the many artificial obstacles city officials presented him when he attempted to enroll his children in Graymont School in Birmingham, Alabama, at a time when it was segregated.
He prevailed, however, and his sons Floyd and Dwight were the first students to integrate the school.
This interview, conducted by Ron January, first aired on Shelley’s program “Open Mic” in 1993.
