"The Right Thing at the Right Time": Choosing to Participate in Memphis

Margot Stern Strom, interviewed by TV station WREG in her hometown of Memphis, describes Facing History and Ourselves' Choosing to Participate exhibit there as "human behavior writ large, but with a concentration on upstanders."

Strom reflects on how her youth in Memphis—where "history wasn't taught well and we didn't talk about the colored and white water fountains or the colored-only day at the zoo sign while we took Civics classes"—influenced the development of Facing History, and the changes that have taken place there since her childhood.
