A must hear, simply marvelous episode of two sisters, Catherine Thomas, Esq and Dr. Claudia Thomas, MD. Catherine Thomas was a Civil Rights and International Business attorney, who was involved in some of the important civil rights cases in America. She is now a realtor in the Maryland area. Her sister, the 1st Black women orthopedic surgeon in the United States, was one of the student leaders of the successful takeover of the Vasser College administration building in 1969. It led to the Board of Trustees acquiescing to the black students 9 demands without getting expelled. Her example and mentoring has lead to now over 100 Black women orthopedic surgeons now in the United States. It is a story of wonderful parenting at a time Black had to breakdown barriers to education... a testament of wonderful, courageous parents of the 50's and 60's. Just a great episode!
