Scenic Roots Radio Show Has Series On Moccasin Bend Friday, December 11, 2020
Mickey Robbins
Through a special partnership with WUTC 88.1 and the Scenic Roots radio show, National Park Partners presents a series of interviews in December with leaders in the effort to preserve the historic and cultural legacy of Moccasin Bend.
First to be interviewed was Mickey Robbins, longtime Board of Directors member going back to the earliest days of the Friends of Moccasin Bend. Mr. Robbins shared some key moments in nearly 100 years of efforts to preserve Moccasin Bend, including a 1920 s attempt by prominent Chattanoogan Adolph Ochs.
Next up was former Congressman Zach Wamp with a civics lesson in how the grassroots community effort to save Moccasin Bend ultimately resulted in the National Park legislation he wrote and pushed through Congress in 2003. Congressman Wamp offers a glimpse into why Moccasin Bend has been a focal point of human habitation for millennia.
