“SOMEBODY HAD TO DO IT”

 

Dr. Millicent Brown, led the “Somebody Had To Do It” project, documenting the recollections of African Americans who, as children, were the first in their communities to attend previously all-white schools. Dr. Jerome Goodwin shared his story of integrating a formerly all-white school when he was a boy.  AAERO interns from North Carolina Central University assisted Dr. Paula Quick Hall in his interview.   This project is now housed at the College of Charleston, South Carolina.  Learn more at   Lowcountry Digital Library at the College of Charleston.
