Interview with Ann McAdams and Lunia Williams
Item
Object
-
Ann McAdams and Lunia Williams are members of Haywood County’s Reynolds High School 1964 graduating class. After high school, Ann worked in the school system, and Lunia went to nursing school to become a nurse. In this 2017 interview, both women offer insight into what life was like as an African American living in Haywood County before and after desegregation. Ann and Lunia address the inequality they faced in their daily lives within the community and in school. Their faith proved to be an important aspect of their lives, with local pastors being prominent local community leaders throughout the Civil Rights Movement. They also speak of their experiences, and the experiences of close friends and family members, up to the present. Ann and Lunia both agree that as time has passed, things have slowly gotten better, but that much change still needs to happen.
