Side 1
00:15--The Micklers discuss their older families' educational opportunities and the differences between black and white schools. Inez was the first in her family to vote. She briefly mentions that several of her family members were members of both the Freemason's and the Order of the Eastern Star. Black/white relations are discussed, along with aspects of how law enforcement discriminated against blacks, lynching incidents they had heard about, the treatment of mulattos and Native Americans, and their knowledge of individuals who passed for white.
11:50--The two very rarely went to Greenville or Anderson until they were older; their parents never had reason to go. They discuss celebrations and special events in the black community such as July 4th, Christmas, and "box suppers."
20:55--The Micklers discuss at length the origins and development of the Bruce Hill neighborhood locally as well as recalling the adults that they most liked and admired as children.
