Description: Oral history of Cheryl Jean Jefferson conducted by Tong Vu on February, 26th 2021. Cheryl Jefferson was born to a military family in Anchorage, Alaska. Her family eventually settled in Brenham, Texas, and she elected to attend Southwest Texas State University in the late 1960s. While in school, she began her detailed career that includes Civil Rights Activism, antiwar activism, television production, and politics. With the Civil Rights movement in its latter stages, and the ongoing Vietnam War, Cheryl found involvement in just about every social movement. She was part of the student Senate at Southwest Texas State, and even met with former president Lyndon B. Johnson a handful of times. Most notably, Cheryl worked with the television network, KLRU, formerly known as KLRN. While Cheryl enjoyed working in all of the previously mentioned fields, she found the most happiness in her later career, where she worked in energy conservation.
