Abstract
This interview was conducted by Dr. George Garrison with Edna Hall Ramseur for his Emmett Scott High School history project. Emmett Scott High School was the segregated high school for African Americans in the 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 in 1970 with the integration of the Rock Hill School District. Mrs. Ramseur was a teacher at Emmett Scott High School, Rock Hill High School, and Northwestern High School. She discusses her experience in both the segregated school system as well as the integrated school system. Mrs. Ramseur details the differences in treatment between both systems for black students and teachers as well as the community reaction to integration.
