ABOUT EXCHANGE PLACE:
EXCHANGE PLACE is a podcast series that tells the story of a school, The Adult Education Center, whose mission was to train mostly African American women in the skills they needed to integrate the secretarial offices of the Deep South between 1965 and ‘72.
Those offices were not just segregated, for the most part they were completely off limits to women of color. And many were fighting to ensure the workplace would stay that way for years or decades to come. Over the course of the school’s history, it was shut down multiple times and constantly under duress from forces conspiring to defeat it. Nevertheless, the school survived to become one of the most successful programs of its kind in the War On Poverty, lauded on the front pages of national newspapers like The Wall Street Journal and the subject of an Emmy Award-winning documentary in 1968 titled, appropriately, "The School That Would Not Die."
The first season of this podcast follows the inspirational biographies of four of the school’s graduates who changed the moral skyline of New Orleans -- how they did it -- and how the school’s teachers and supporters struggled to overcome the massive forces arrayed against them.
