- Description:
- Oral history interview with Mary Frances Early, first African American graduate of the University of Georgia. Early was interviewed by Fran Lane on March 22, 2007. After the January 1961 desegregation of the University of Georgia by Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes, Mary Frances Early transfered as a graduate student in music education from the University of Michigan to the University of Georgia. On August 16, 1962, she became the first African American to graduate from the school. In the oral history, Early speaks about her experiences growing up in Atlanta, her time at Henry McNeal Turner High School and Clark College in Atlanta Georgia, her history with music and teaching, her admission to the University of Georgia in 1961 and her experience on campus, as well as her role as an active alumna of the school and her subsequent career in education.
The stories told and opinions expressed are those of the person being interviewed.
