Austin Revealed: Civil Rights Stories - Politics & Desegregation

Over two days I sat in an East Austin Church and was fortunate to interview Austin civil rights leaders. Two days after #MLK was assassinated, Wilhelmina Delco became the first African American elected to public office in Austin, Texas. Watch this interview produced for @klru
