Hudson K-8 School

On February 24, 2025, several foot soldiers of the Civil Rights Movement engaged middle school students at Hudson K-8 School with their powerful stories. The term "foot soldier" honors the dedicated individuals who battled relentlessly against the unjust treatment of African Americans during this pivotal era. Each foot soldier recounted their gripping experiences in protests, marches, sit-ins, and demonstrations, bravely facing violence and arrests for the sake of racial equality. Though often overshadowed in history books, these remarkable individuals were the backbone of the movement, relentlessly fighting for justice and a brighter future for all. Their contributions remind us that real change is driven by the steadfast commitment of everyday heroes.
