Today's episode of The Promised Land lifts up Debron and Voncher Walker in Warm Springs, GA who have purchased the Eleanor Roosevelt School and gained a $700,000 grant from the National Park Service to begin restoration of the only brick Rosenwald School of the thousands built between 1912 and 1936. President Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote a personal check to finish the campaign for the school, near his vacation retreat. It's an example of how to protect and preserve history like the marker in North Beach by Maya Angelou that says "without courage, we can not practice any of the other virtues with consistency." Listen to see how her courage took her from St. Louis to Arkansas to San Francisco to Los Angeles to Cairo--and that's just the beginning.
