Bipeds of Brookland: Jackie Young

Jackie Young became involved in progressive politics in high school. In the 70s, her love of travel combined with her progressive politics. This led her to join a group who traveled to Cuba to help with the sugar cane production and to protest the US blockade of Cuba. She lived there for 3 months, cutting sugar cane, living in a tent, and traveling. "I am so glad the blockade may soon be officially over; the people of the USA and Cuba will benefit."

Bipeds of Brookland: Cheryl Alston

She began school in 1954.  “I was the first black child to go to St. Anthony’s.  I started 1st grade and graduated from 12th grade.”  She had perfect attendance over those 12 years. “I had an opportunity to get a good education and that carried over into adult life.”
