Farmer’s Influences
Nov 5th, 2007 by Tatiana Haywood
My research project takes an in-depth look at James Farmer’s influences that helped to mold and shape him into the Civil Rights leader he was. I will research the different figures mentioned in his speeches as well as his novels. I want to interpret their short biography and focus on how they affected his life and touched him in one way or another. Mostly these influences will be his immediate family members, teachers and writers that had a grave impact on his life .To recognize the influences in his life is to recognize the path he took in order to achieve desegregation and African American Civil Rights.
