An Interview with Teletha Benjamin
Teletha was born in segregated Louisiana, was educated to be a high school teacher and travelled to Oregon as part of the great migration described in “The Warmth of Other Suns”. The Oregon she found when she arrived was very similar to what she left in Louisiana. She adapted and was eventually awarded the Gladys McCoy Lifetime Achievement Award. Come listen to her story.
