Crystal Freeman says she was in high school, preparing to attend college when she first learned about the trials and tribulations that her mother faced to get a good education.
Freeman’s mother, Barbara Pace Hunt, was one of the three women who sued for their right to attend Georgia State University more than 60 years ago.
The federal court ruled in the women’s favor, but they were still denied admission to the university. Eventually, the case led to integration at universities across the country.
