Powerful video about a woman who lived during the violence of segregation and how everyday activities we take for granted today took great courage then. For more information about this time period in Kentucky's history, see George C. Wright's ground-breaking book _Racial Violence in Kentucky, 1865-1940: Lynchings, Mob Rule, and "Legal Lynchings."

The video on jennie and Alice Wilson is a powerful example of how standing up for what you believe in is the best thing a person can do. Jennie is a strong woman because of her childhood. Seeing her parents as slaves and as free people made an impression on her. This impression made her srong enough to raise foour children in Kentucky during segregation and send all four of them to college. Alice was strong enough to integrate into mayfield high school with 9 other children at the age of fourteen when no other black students would. After integrating she dealt with vocal abuse from white classmates, but never retaliated physically or vocally in a negative manner. Alice simply continued on with the importantt things in her life, the completion of school and the hopes of continuing onward to college.

  This explanation is an excellent precursor to the events described by Jennie and Alice Wilson. History of Mayfield and existing racial tensions give a good background to the violence the oral history interview shares.

They have served in the military, constructed buildings, organized hospitals, established businesses, erected churches, formed benevolent societies, participated in athletic events, shaped the cultural landscape, entertained audiences, educated masses of school children, held political offices, and fought for respect and equality. Kentucky African American history is as diverse as the state.
