Elmer J. Brown's oral history interview on February 19, 2000 at his home in Drayden. He talked about his family, his schooling, and life in Washington, D.C. Race relations were more of a problem when he married and wanted a good job. He worked two jobs for twenty-three years. School integration was hard on his children. He began working with the Urban League in the mid-1960s. His wife was alcoholic, which led to her early death. He worked in the Community Services Administration for several years. The Tubman-Douglas development became a model. He worked hard to educate people in home ownership and worked hard on black/white contracting issues. He discussed the influence of the naval base on the economy, his children, oral history, and what he did and did not accomplish. The interview is on two disks and in a black plastic container with a cream label on the spine.
