In this episode I interview a colleague who was one of the first two African American young women asked to integrate the female dorms at a small, overwhelmingly white, Southern college in 1969.  During the interview, she recounts some of the challenges she encountered as a seventeen-year-old young woman in this initially stressful situation. Yet she also relates some the ways in which the experience enriched her and caused her to choose to come back later and teach at the same school for over three decades.
