Her father was a sharecropper through the 1940s and 50s and Nellie recalls life on the farm with her mother and seven siblings. Mrs. Brown speaks about the one-room schoolhouse she attended from first to eighth grade, after which she moved to Western High School. She shares her experiences, both good and bad, of segregation, integration, and economic change over the years in Paris. As an adult, Mrs. Brown went back to school to become a nurse and tells us about the different patients for which she cared. In addition, she surveys the changes she has seen over the generations of her family, particularly with regard to educational opportunities.
