- Description
- Based on transcripts of interviews recorded in 1969, Garrison's oral history portrays African American life in West Virginia, where she and other community members overcame great obstacles to improve their working conditions, to send their children to school and college. Garrison, as an influential teacher and youth leader, a political organizer, and ultimately as vice president of the National Board of the NAACP, was at the heart of these efforts.
