Question about an "American Experience" episode that aired on PBS a while back

Factual Questions

I don’t remember the title, but it aired on my local PBS station in recent months and I DVR’ed it and watched it within the past few months. It was about mid-1960s and early 1970s civil rights and allowing blacks to vote on an equal basis with whites, and most of it was shot in B&W and cobbled together with voice-overs. The reason I’m asking about it is because I wrote down some of the names of the people in it, to see what happened to them later, and am posting it here because I think it’s the best spot for it. (Move it if the moderators think it’s appropriate.)

Anyway, there was a woman who not only had been admitted to Yale Law School, quite a feat for a woman in the mid 1960s, but she was massively obese, probably >400 pounds, which was unheard-of in that era. Her first name was Marge and I couldn’t quite make out her last name. I looked at the PBS website and couldn’t find anything there either. Before joining the civil rights movement, they said “she had lived in a nunnery”, although I don’t think she was actually ever a nun.

Would anyone know who I’m talking about?

Marge Sklencar

I got a chuckle out of reading this, since back in Shakespearean times ‘nunnery’ was a euphemism for ‘house of joy,’ (although I suspect she was not familiar with that usage).

TYVM! I could not for the life of me remember the name of that documentary.

I went to Newspapers.com, and Ms. Sklencar’s trail goes absolutely cold after 1970.

Glad to help

In the meantime, I found out that her name was actually Marguerite, 1946-1994.

Thanks, everyone, for your help. I had never previously heard of the Vietnam Moratorium, and had I taken note of THAT, my search would have been easier.
