Project: Owensboro-Daviess County: Race Relations, 1930-1970 Oral History Project
Interview Summary
Hall discusses what it was like to grow up in a segregated city like Owensboro, Kentucky. She feels that there has been little change in race relations in the city, that racism is just more subtle or hidden today. Neighborhoods are still basically segregated. Only rich African Americans are able to move out of traditional black neighborhoods, and only poor whites move in. She has heard resentment expressed toward whites moving into the black neighborhoods.She talks about the shooting of her son and another African American by a group of white males. The suspects were arrested and convicted, but the judge who sentenced them was not reelected. Hall also discusses her educational experience at the Neblett Center.
