Arizona Mitchell is interviewed by Edward Clark Smith on July 16, 1987 as a part of the Western North Carolina Tomorrow Black Oral History Project. Born in 1901, Mitchell moved from Knoxville to Asheville in 1910 after her mom died. She talks about churches and working for white people cooking, cleaning, and raising children. When her son was a baby her first husband left her and Mrs. McGinnis quit her job at Memorial Mission so Mitchell could have it. She remained in touch with the family her entire life.
