Preface
I first saw odette hines in the late summer of 1964 as she walked excitedly from the back of her house in Alexandria, Louisiana, to greet us as we parked our car in her driveway. Clearly happy to see usfour young civil rights workers who had just driven the approximately two hours from the state office of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) in Plaquemineshe welcomed us eagerly and invited us in. The only thing I knew about her was that she was the person who had agreed to house three workers so that CORE could finally begin working in central Louisiana. Ronnie Moore, the state director of CORE and our escort that day, had been trying all summer to get CORE a base in the central part of the state, especially in Natchitoches and Rapides Parishes (counties). At one point, an undertaker in Natchitoches had agreed to find housing for CORE workers, but he later changed his mind, apparently for the same reason others refused to help us: it was just too dangerous. In addition to the violence that had received national attentionwhen the New Orleans schools were desegregated in 1960 and when James Farmer was under attack in Plaquemine in 1963CORE'S activism in the state in the early 1960s had elicited job firings, beatings, tear gas attacks, arrests, shootings into houses, and church burnings. Such incidents had happened in Jonesboro and Monroe (to the north of Alexandria), and Clinton, Hammond, Greensburg, St. Francisville, New Roads, and many other locations south of Alexandria. White and black Louisianians knew about this. It was not surprising that no one in central Louisiana would open their homes to CORE. No one, that is, until Odette Hines.
