Private Booker T. Spicely Memorial & Symposium

  • Summary

  • On this show, we discuss the July 1944 murder of Private Booker Spicely in Durham at the hands of a Duke Power Company bus driver because he peacefully protested a demand that he move to the back of the bus. Presently underway are local efforts designed to erect a public monument in Durham to honor his service and to promote a community symposium that honors Spicely and other African-American soldiers who were killed as a result of similar efforts. Our guest is Stephen Valentine, Director of the Veterans Law Clinic at the NCCU School of Law.
