Her mother taught her from textbooks while she worked in the fields each fall. She attended high school and, later, Huston-Tillotson University. In 1962, her Mothers' Action Council helped end segregation in Austin, Texas. Flash to 2008. Bertha Means is 88 years old, and selected a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. In the moments of this historic election year, she offers an inspiring glimpse into what it's like to witness (and make) great change over a lifetime. Written by Micah Barber See less
