Civil Rights Leader and Freedom Rider comes to PCC
Portland Community College is proud to bring you activist and civil rights leader... Hollis Watkins
Presents a community wide sing along and stories from the civil rights movement: Hollis Watkins continues the musical traditions of the civil rights movement in the struggle of today. Having been sustained by music when he was hanging from handcuffs in a cell in Parchman prison in the 60's, Hollis includes the musical traditions of the civil rights movement into the struggle of today, making it part of his organizing and bringing its message to a new generation of activists.
He did the first Woolworth's lunch counter sit-in in Mississippi, used a hidden camera to film abuses by voter registration clerk Theron Lynd for CBS news, led a 'Freedom School' in 1963, was there when Fannie Lou Hamer gave her testimony at the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, and more. Watkins is/was particularly known for singing and leading people in 'Freedom Songs'. He used these to rally himself and others at dark times. One of which was, one
of the times he was in the Mississippi Maximum Security prison for disturbing the peace. He was leading singing, and the jailers handcuffed him to the crossbar of his prison cell, high above his head, so that his weight was on his wrists as he hung there. Watkins kept singing. Don't miss this once in a life time opportunity.
