Description

Interview of Gladys G. Harvey, a woman who grew up in the North Central neighborhood. Her father was carpenter and also a pastor of Gethsemane Church and her son is the current pastor of the church. Ms. Harvey describes her experience growing up as a pastor's daughter and how her father was very protective of her and her siblings. She recalls shopping for clothes and also the neighborhood grocery stores. She also discusses the Charleston Hospital Workers strike and how she felt when Martin Luther King was killed, and about her having gotten pregnant at 16 and had to leave Burke High School for a private school in Denmark, SC. She reminisces about lunches after church on Sundays and how this was the biggest event of the week. There was a lot of cross over between Gethsemane Baptist Church and New Israel Reformed Episcopal Church as neighbors, especially after Sunday services. Ms. Harvey has had the opportunity to travel a lot in more recent years and has enjoyed this opportunity. Recorded as part of HCF's "Changing Neighborhoods" series, made possible in part by grants from the SC Humanities Commission and the Employees Community Fund of The Boeing Company. Date of interview: 10/5/2017. Interviewed by April Wood (HCF) at Gethsemane Baptist Church. Leigh Moring (HCF), videographer. 1 DVD: 1:00:26 Digital files (MP3/audio and MP4/video) on MyPassport-OralHistory (external hard drive)
