Annie May (Mae) Bolden is interviewed by Edward Clark Smith in 1987 as a part of the Western North Carolina Tomorrow Black Oral History Project. Bolden talks right away about her grandmothers, then proceeds to moving from South Carolina, her father, Jim Miller, being the first black contractor in Asheville, being taught that "business is business," walking to school, graduating in 1911, how the town of Emma got its name, and more.
