“Every time I see a young person who has come through the system to a stage where he [or she] could profit from the system and identify with it, but who identifies more with the struggle of black people who have not had his [or her] chance, every time I find such a person I take new hope. I feel a new life as a result of it.”

–Ella Baker

Each year, P Sterling Stuckey, a historian and civil rights veteran, generously contributes to AP in honor of Yvonne Stevens and Wilhemenia Evans—two sisters who introduced him to the civil rights movement. We asked Dr. Stuckey to tell their story from his perspective.
