Raised in a part of the segregated South that provided no school for African American children, Sylvia Bell White went North as a teenager, dreaming of a nursing career and a freedom defined in part by wartime rhetoric about American ideals. Telling her story in these pages, Sylvia emerges as a powerful witness, buoyant spirit, and sparkling narrator. Brimming with joy and yet profoundly serious, this oral history brings us into the presence of an extraordinary African American woman.
