Tillmon, Johnnie (audio interview #1 of 5)

INTERVIEW DESCRIPTION - This first of five interviews with Johnnie Tillmon was conducted seven years prior to the initiation of a life history interview with her. It was recorded at her "office," a desk in the Field Office of one of the Los Angeles City Councilmen, and was done conjunction with an LA women's movement history project by members of the Women Rising Collective. Information from these interviews were incorporated into an art installation at UCLA created by Women Rising Collective member, artist, Dara Robinson. This initial interview contains little biographical information and focuses on the organization and formation of ANC Mothers Anonymous and the National Welfare Rights Organization. Some of this material is covered in more detail in the oral history of Tillmon conducted in 1991. [See interviews 2-5.] 1984-02
