- Description:
- Oral history in which Jake and Betty Hill describe discrepancies between all-white and all-black schools, including allocation of funds, materials, and equipment. They recall the transition to integrated school personnel, how the first black personnel were selected, the effects of integration on the socialization and education of the students, and how it affected parent participation. They also recall the changes in school administration once federal aid was received and after integration, teaching conditions after integration, and new programs started.
