People’s AME Zion Church: Ann Tussing singing Union / Civil Rights songs

In Oral History Interviews, People's AME Zion Church on February 23, 2011 at 10:18 am

Ann Tussing is the wife of Dale Tussing, former Professor of Economics at Syracuse  University.  Both were active members of CORE, Congress Of Racial Equality, and participated in the civil rights movement of the 1960s in Syracuse.   Among other CORE activities, they organized a march on Syracuse’s City Hall to protest the destruction of the 15th Ward, a dominantly African-American and Jewish community.
