Sandra K. Yocum

Sandra K. Yocum has a B.F.A. and an Education K-12 teaching certificate. The experiences she gained in the late 1960s as a second-grade teacher in the predominately black community in Watts, Los Angeles, California, and recent work with minority students as a tutor, mentor, art instructor made her passionate about civil rights.
