Publisher: Radio Diaries
Author: Randy Cooper
Audio lenght: 13 min.
"My great-grandfather's name was Ozwell Mitchell and he played a major role in the Civil Rights Movement throughout the late '50s and early '60s. I'm seeking information about my great-grandfather because of the simple fact, you know, he died two weeks before I was born and I never really got to know him personally."
Teenage Diaries producer Joe Richman gives teenagers tape recorders to document their lives. When 18-year-old Randy Cooper was asked to document his life on a farm in western Mississippi, 3 miles south of the town of Tchula, he decided he wanted to research the Civil Rights Movement in his county. What he learned led him back to his great-grandfather - civil rights leader Ozwell Mitchell. This is Randy's story as originally heard on National Public Radio's All Things Considered.
