Abstract

Ms. Ella M. Spires Fuller is interviewed by Vickie Graham and Mara Kozelsky at the USA Baldwin County Campus, in the conference room. Ms. Fuller recalls life in Fairhope in the 1960s, including the transition from horse and wagon to cars and the self-sufficiency of rural Black communities. She also discusses her family’s land ownership as well as her own educational experience, first at Pure Heart of Mary in Mobile, and then, Anna T. Jeanes in Fairhope. Finally, Ms. Fuller details many of Fairhope’s Black-owned businesses and the variety of musical acts (Sam Cook, B.B. King, Fats Domino) that performed at the segregated American Legion.
