Abstract
This interview was conducted by Dr. George Garrison with Jacquelyn McGirt for Dr. Garrison’s project on the History of Emmett Scott High School. Emmett Scott was the segregated high school for African-Americans, which was named after Emmett Scott, a former aide to Booker T. Washington and President Woodrow Wilson. The school opened in 1920 and closed in 1970 when full integration was implemented in Rock Hill, South Carolina schools. Ms. McGirt is the daughter of Ralph McGirt, who was the principal of Emmett Scott from 1938 until he passed away in 1959. In this interview, Ms. McGirt discusses her father, her experiences and recollections of Emmett Scott High School and the impact it had in the black community of Rock Hill, South Carolina.
