| Description: |
Lord D. Nickens is a man who grew up in the Maryland area during a time of segregation. The oral history he gave started when he was about seven years old. He spoke of the problems he faced throughout his life, and the ways he overcame them. He also told about his service in the United States Army, and the ways which he was still treated inferior to white soldiers, and in one case to German P.O.W.'s, after he had fought in World War II. Lord D. Nickens met many influential African Americans during the time of the Civil Rights Movements.
