A Father’s Day story of one dad’s influence on his son
Dr. William Lynn Weaver, a renowned surgeon, helped integrate a Knoxville high school in 1964. Even in those difficult times, he felt safe and supported thanks to his father, Ted Weaver, who worked long hours as a janitor and chauffeur. In this animated feature from our partners at StoryCorps, Dr. Weaver remembered his father’s influence in this 2007 conversation with his daughter, Kimberly.
