Side 2

2:30--Alexander never knew for the longest time that blacks where not treated as equals to whites. She has never hated anyone and never got into any physical altercations like some kids did at school.

5:25--Her father and his Art Fellows friends help build the two-story house that Mrs. Alexander grew up in. The children had the upstairs rooms.

10:14--If she could change something about her life, what would it be? Mrs. Alexander's response was her eyesight and the wish that family would move closer to the Pendleton area. Alexander also explains that she would have not gotten married so young.

16:35--Audio ends.
