Abstract
This interview was conducted by Dr. George Garrison with Gladys Boulware for his History of Emmett Scott project. Emmett Scott High School was the segregated school for African Americans in Rock Hill, South Carolina. It was named for Emmett Scott, a former aide for Booker T. Washington and President Woodrow Wilson. The school was opened in 1920 and closed down in 1970 with the full integration of the Rock Hill School District. Mrs. Boulware was a teacher at Emmett Scott High School and was the wife of Richard Boulware, a former principal at Emmett Scott. Mrs. Boulware discusses her experience in the South Carolina education system as both a student and an educator. She details her experiences during the Civil Rights Movement involving the sit-ins, integration, and walk-outs of the students in Rock Hill. Mrs. Boulware also discusses the actions of the administration to accommodate as well as hinder the integration of the district.
