00:50--Harbin got eight years of schooling; he farmed thereafter. His sister Eunetta attended Seneca Junior College. She did domestic work in Greenville, SC.
3:30--Newspapers and books were provided to the household by Harbin's parents, but he cannot recall any specifics.
4:42--Harbin cannot recall being taught black history.
10:02--The only lynching he can remember is the incident involving Mr. Green of Walhalla.
11:23--Within his family, men were considered the head of the household.
12:17--He occasionally heard his parents talk about black/white relationships and mixed children.
13:30--His maternal grandmother was part Native American.
14:00--The family rarely went to Greenville or Anderson in the old days. There were likely more opportunities there in his estimation largely due to population.
15:28--Celebrations--during July 4th celebrations, families would gather to have picnics, and the men would play baseball games. Santa Claus brought gifts and fruits at Christmastime. In the old days, most people didn't celebrate birthdays or anniversaries.
19:45--Adults in those days were strict disciplinarians; they were firm with their children.
21:56--Mr. Harbin has always accepted being black; he has been well pleased with his life.
24:02--Audio ends.
