Gwen was 14 and a recruiter which means she would work inside the school letting other students know what was to happen. She was the contact person for the "captain" who would come from the movement office to give a signal for the students to leave. She tells of her being organized and shares recollection of early radio in Birmingham. She had a special connection with Paul "Tall Paul" White from WENN radio, which she shares. She went on to work with C.T. Vivian in St Augustine, Florida.
