Abstract
This transcript records the second interview with Dr. Earl Bracy. Vickie Graham and Mara Kozelsky were interviewers. The discussion begins with Dr. Bracy’s move to Oak Creek Wisconsin and his memories of his childhood there. He addresses differences between growing up in segregated Alabama and transitioning to an integrated school in Wisconsin. He returned to Alabama to finish high school and fondly recalls his experience at Baldwin County Training School, his teachers and his friendships there. Dr. Bracy gives details of his first job and his at the Parker House restaurant in Fairhope and shares stories related to testing the boundaries of segregation. His return to Wisconsin after graduation led to his joining the NAACP, active participation in the Civil Rights movement there, and marching with Father James A. Groppi for open housing. Finally, Dr. Bracy offers insights into his being drafted into the Vietnam War, followed by his long and varied medical career, ending with his work in psychology.
