The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Eckerd College is a community treasure, and we were delighted to see
a feature in The Weekly Challenger about Dr. Gregory Padgett, who recently was teaching a class on the civil rights movement at the institute. Dr. Padgett is a community treasure, too. He has been teaching history at Eckerd for 26 years.
The OLLI class is called
What's Past is Prologue: The Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Dr. Padgett may be the perfect person to teach it. He lived the history he was teaching. As a young man in the 1950s and 1960s, Dr. Padgett experienced the changes and challenges in society as a result of civil rights legislation.
