Davis describes growing up in rural Georgia in the early 1900s and her eventual move to Birmingham, Alabama. Davis was born in Temple, Georgia and was raised by her grandparents. Her grandfather was a sharecropper; Davis and her grandmother also worked in the fields. She describes her early education in Georgia, explaining that the school met in a local church and would have class around the pulpit. The children cleaned the school and would also go into the woods to gather kindling for heat. Davis was only able to attend school a few months out of the year because she had to work in the fields. Davis also explains that her family did not have access to a doctor in the country. Herbal medicines were used if anyone got sick; she describes several remedies in the interview. She provides a detailed description of life during The Depression and explains that her family received aid from The Red Cross. She explains that the Red Cross had several different distribution centers where they supplied food such as flour, peas and rice. She adds that they would sometimes have beef but the beef was almost impossible to cook because the cows were also malnourished.; Note: Transcripts do not cover the entire recording.

Jerald recounts how his family weathered the Depression relatively well, because his job at the A\u0026P meant he had enough food to eat; there was sometimes even surplus to share with neighbors. In addition, they grew their own garden and he sold firewood. Jerald explains that even though he didn't have time to get Red Cross aid or work for the WPA, those were good programs. He says the WPA made people feel like they were helping provide for themselves. He describes how the WPA paid people in stamps that could be redeemed most anywhere for food. He says he feels like blacks dealt with the Depression better than whites because they could get help easier and were used to the poverty. Jerald describes his time as a preacher in country churches and discusses the differences between religious practices in the country and the city, as well as how they've changed over time. He says that country people seemed to be closer to God. Jerald recounts the story of how he helped pave the way for black workers to be promoted to better jobs at the tire plant where he worked. He complained to his boss about how black workers were training whites from outside the company in positions they were capable of filling. The boss asked him to quiet his complaints, but he also gave him the promotion in question, with the admonition that he couldn't go back down to his old job if he couldn't handle it. He excelled at the job and was promoted several more times, and each time a black worker was promoted to his old position. However, he wouldn't ultimately take a foreman position because he feared having white men working under him.","The digitization of this collection was funded by a gift from EBSCO Industries."],"dc_format":["audio/mpeg","image/jpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["The University of Alabama Libraries Special Collections"],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Working Lives Oral History Project"],"dcterms_subject":["Jerald, Mitchell--Interviews"],"dcterms_title":["Interview with Mitchell Jerald"],"dcterms_type":["Sound","Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["William Stanley Hoole Special Collections Library"],"edm_is_shown_by":null,"edm_is_shown_at":["http://digitalcollections.libraries.ua.edu/cdm/ref/collection/u0008_0000003/id/142"],"dcterms_temporal":null,"dcterms_rights_holder":null,"dcterms_bibliographic_citation":null,"dlg_local_right":["Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.

Reynolds explains how her mother ensured that she and her siblings become well-behaved, educated people. She says, \"We got more rearing from principles and teaching than we did by the strap.\" She gives examples of her mother's teaching. She also describes how they didn't have nice things growing up because her mother was frugal with money. She felt it was better spent on an education than on nice clothes. Reynolds says this attitude also helped them get through the Depression. Reynolds says the family was never on relief because of the money her mother had saved up from what her father had left them. In fact, her mother employed a woman and her children to wash their clothes, and they also had enough money to buy their coal for the winter at the beginning of the season. Reynolds talks about what Birmingham was like during segregation. She explains that in general, she dealt with mistreatment from whites without cursing them: \"A fool can curse. If I have to tell you something, my terminology will be such that you will have to think.\" Reynolds also mentions her son, Washington, D.C., Civil Rights leader Julius W. Hobson. She reads a poem she wrote about him. Reynolds taught school for 45 years and was the Principal at Irondale Elementary. She compares black and white schools, saying whites had better lunchrooms and lunch service, as well as transportation. She discusses the disparity in pay due to education and how black teachers had to go up north for school. She recalls attending Industrial High (which became Parker High), and she remembers being taught by musicians Malachi Wilkerson and Fess Whatley.

Walton recalls being on segregated buses and restaurants and department stores. She says it didn't bother her then: \"because I was young and didn't know no better.\" She says she understands now and sees it differently. Walton talks about registering to vote. She didn't have to answer any difficult or strange questions; she did have to show up with a white person to vouch for her and help her make sense of the paperwork. She also recalls vagrancy laws, that blacks couldn't be outside after a certain time of night or they would be taken home by the police. She describes seeing the Ku Klux Klan march and says she was afraid of them. She remembers seeing Civil Rights marches, too, but did not participate in them. Walton talks about the various recreational possibilities in the city, including music and dancing, drinking bootleg whiskey, and attending baseball games. Walton also discusses her church at length.","The digitization of this collection was funded by a gift from EBSCO Industries."],"dc_format":["audio/mpeg","image/jpeg"],"dcterms_identifier":null,"dcterms_language":["eng"],"dcterms_publisher":null,"dc_relation":["The University of Alabama Libraries Special Collections"],"dc_right":["http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/"],"dcterms_is_part_of":["Working Lives Oral History Project"],"dcterms_subject":["Walton, Thelma--Interviews"],"dcterms_title":["Interview withThelma Walton"],"dcterms_type":["Sound","Text"],"dcterms_provenance":["William Stanley Hoole Special Collections Library"],"edm_is_shown_by":null,"edm_is_shown_at":["http://digitalcollections.libraries.ua.edu/cdm/ref/collection/u0008_0000003/id/115"],"dcterms_temporal":null,"dcterms_rights_holder":null,"dcterms_bibliographic_citation":null,"dlg_local_right":["Images are in the public domain or protected under U.S. copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code), and both types may be used for research and private study.
