| Abstract |
Civic rights activist Patricia Stephens Due was born on December 9, 1939 in Quincy, Florida. Due graduated from high school in Belle Glade and entered Florida A&M University in Tallahassee in the fall of 1957. During the summer of 1959, Due and her sister attended an interracial workshop on non-violent civil disobedience sponsored by The Congress of Racial Equality. After that, she organized FAMU students and led her sister and five others in a lunch counter sit-in. In 1964, Due was selected by CORE to serve as field secretary for the organization's first voter education and registration project in North Florida, registering more African Americans than any other region of the South. Over the years, Due gave lectures, presentations and workshops on civil rights history to thousands of high school and college students, parents, teachers and to church and civic groups across the country. She passed away on February 7, 2012. |
