Lynda Woodruff, PT, PhD spent her life breaking barriers and challenging the status quo. This podcast is unique in several ways. For one, our podcast has focused on clinicians and this is the first we've done on someone who spent the majority of their career in academia. But I think you'll agree, Lynda's story is too good not to be told. At 13, she was one of only two students to integrate EC Glass High School in Lynchburg, VA. In this podcast, you'll hear audio from Martin Luther King Jr's speech that day at her school. You'll also hear from Dr. Charlene Portee, one of Lynda's mentees--and from Lynda herself by way of an interview she did as part of APTA's oral histories back in 2002. Lynda passed away in 2018, but through her interview and life story we were able to get a handle on some concepts that just might bring out the rebel in us all.
