After we had finished our interview, activist and organizer Barbara Evans asked rhetorically what had happened to all the people like her, the 1960s and 1970s “radicals” who struggled vehemently for change and justice for all people. Now in her 60s, this self-described “race-mixer” lives in Burkville in Lowndes County where she works for an environmental law firm and volunteers as the deputy county coroner after a long career as a union organizer and community organizer. In addition to her official work, Evans also helps bring people together with such projects as the art gallery and civil rights museum called Annie Mae’s Place, which is located in her side yard, and the annual Okra Festival, which is something like a rural street party held every August at her home. Barbara Evans and I sat down together at her dining room table, accompanied by her dogs Ray and Winnie sleeping on the floor nearby, to discuss the twists and turns of life in one of the most politically volatile parts of Alabama.
