Abstract
In this interview, Laura Goodly is the guest. She discusses her parents’ jobs as sharecroppers and how her large family originally lived in Oberlin, Louisiana. Growing up, she had been raised in poverty alongside others in her community. Goodly also describes how there was a lack of full education for the Black population, going so far as to describe how high school was not an option for them. She eventually went to high school, after being given the right to vote in 1952, and adult school to get more of an education. She and her husband were able to go to college in San Bernardino since they moved to the state in 1962. With some questions given by the interviewer, Goodly talks about being a Creole woman and her continuation in the National Council of Negro Women. The interview ends with Goodly advising the youth, that is, to learn to work hard.
