Abstract
In this interview, Dr. Earl Bracy is interviewed by Vickie Graham and Mara Kozelsky at the Baldwin County Training School in Daphne, AL. The interview begins with a brief discussion of Dr. Bracy’s book, The Making of a Black Psychologist, before diving into Dr. Bracy’s memories of growing up in Fairhope, AL during segregation. During the interview, Dr. Bracy describes the strength of his community as well as how he negotiated racism in his own life. Dr. Bracy also offers a professional analysis of racism’s impact on the human psyche, both as relates to individuals and broader communities. A substantial portion of the interview focuses on Dr. Bracy’s education at Anna T. Jeanes and Baldwin County Training School, which was founded by his ancestors. Dr. Bracy reveals how he came to live in Wisconsin as a young teenager, and compares integration of schools in the North and South. Other parts of the interview briefly address his service in Germany, revitalization efforts in Fairhope, and his impression of youth activism today. Part 2 of the interview elaborates on many of these topics, including his own role in the Civil Rights movement in Wisconsin.
