OH099 Elizabeth Hart Oral History
Abstract
Elizabeth R. F. Hart recalls her childhood in Murray, Kentucky during the Great Depression era. She remembers playing in the swimming pool behind the ice factory and neighborhood children roller skating on the recently paved city streets. While attending college, Hart recalled her uncle matching whatever money she made from selling Christmas cards door to door to pay tuition. Hart mentions her father hiring a African-American woman named Ora Jackson to help with cooking, household cleaning and family care. She described how Jackson took great care of her as a child. She concludes with a discussion about her relationship and marriage with her husband Jim Hart.
