Abstract

In this interview, Zetty Epps answers the interviewer’s questions regarding her time in school and the racism she faced. After discussing the origins of her name, she talks about the attitudes as well as the speech used to demean Black students at the time. Epps then speaks of Mr. Troy and Mr. Edingburgh, two people who influenced the BSU in the high school. After the discussion of further information about Epps’s time in high school, the interview ends with the topic of nursing courses in high school. Epps explains how those courses, as they were in many high schools at the time, affected her future.
