Elizabeth Randall interview

Description

Elizabeth Dorothy Davidson Randall Washington (1918-2011) was a secretary for the Baltimore, Maryland, branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) (1962-1968), and worked directly with activist Lillie Mae Carroll Jackson. In this oral history interview, she provides insight into the personal and emotional aspects of Jackson’s career with the organization, as well as the impact of other local civil rights activists on their efforts. She discusses the NAACP’s focus on Baltimore churches and ministers, many of whom Lillie Mae Jackson would directly involve in the organization’s local efforts.

Production Note

The McKeldin-Jackson Project was an effort to examine the Maryland civil rights movement of the mid-20th century through the medium of oral history by focusing on the roles played by pioneering freedom fighter Lillie May Carroll Jackson and Theodore R. McKeldin, who was Mayor of Baltimore (1943-1947, 1963-1967), Governor of Maryland (1951-1959), and an advocate for civil rights. The project was sponsored by the Maryland Historical Society and was supported in part by a grant from the Maryland Committee for the Humanities and Public Policy.
