Interview: Trudy Orris
Gertrude Orris, much to her family's distress, insisted on going down to Selma for a week. "They kept calling, they were so worried about me they wanted me to come [home]... I had to [go]. That was one of the things I had to do. So I went by myself." Orris stayed with the doctors' group in Selma: During the day we would go to the march. We were responsible for the medical staff on the march. There were people walking distances, and so we would wash feet, we would put Band-Aids on. They were the doctors and I was helping the nurse. Then I would go back to the house and I would do the cooking. Somebody would've shopped, and I would make some of the meals. A lot of them went out to eat. We'd stay in the Black community.
