In Part 2 of this interview, Dr. Robert Cosby continues his conversation with Ms. Anita Bellamy Shelton. Ms. Shelton, widely regarded as a “living legend” by her contemporaries and those who look up to her civil and human rights work, has worked tirelessly throughout her career to create change in housing, anti-poverty measures, domestic workers’ rights, human rights and discrimination, economic opportunity, and much more. She obtained her Masters in Social Work degree at Howard University in 1959. Among her many contributions are her work as Director of the National Association of Household Workers and as Director of the Office of Human Rights in Washington, DC under Mayor Marion Barry. In Part 2, Ms. Shelton speaks about the importance of relationships in the pursuit of social justice, the interplay of her faith and her work, economic discrimination and empowerment, and many more powerful topics.
The podcast features music performed by the Howard University Jazz Ensemble, under the direction of Fred Irby III.
