Book excerpt: Originally recorded at Marshall University in 1969, Memphis Tennessee Garrison's memoirs tell of her life, her career as a teacher, and her political activities in the early civil rights movement. Based on those recordings, this book describes her childhood in Gary, a West Virginian coal mining town populated largely by black and immigrant workers. It also describes her participation in the NAACP, bringing black performers to the area in the 1920s, starting a Girl Scout troop for black girls in the 1950s, and serving on the NAACP's board of directors in the 1960s. c.
