Silas Norman

I first met Silas in 1961 when he was a student at Paine College in Augusta, GA, and a brave leader of sit-ins that often brought violent reactions from white on-lookers.

Silas Norman, ¡Presente!

When at the University of Wisconsin, Silas Norman was among the applicants for the SNCC literacy project in Selma, which I was coordinating. He stood out among the other applicants as mature, responsible and intuitive. He was our rock. Silas was also a great cook. I still have his recipe for buttermilk cornbread. RIP Silas.
