Catherine Burks-Brooks


In Birmingham, we met Catherine Burks-Brooks, who I found to be one of the bravest and most inspiring people I have ever met. Her courage and determination during the Freedom Rides and wider movement really made an impact on me. I loved hearing her stories about Bull Connor and the struggle for rights in Birmingham. I want to follow in her footsteps when I'm older.
