Stewart, James Harris -- Interviews

James Harris Stewart is interviewed by Gwendolyn Sheppard on March 31, 1989 as part of the Western North Carolina Tomorrow Black Oral History Project. The transcription and audio are unavailable. This document includes Sheppard's notes after the interview took place. Stewart was raised in Georgia and moved to Asheville where he met his future wife. He found Asheville to be less racially discriminating than Georgia, but describes some restrictions due to Jim Crow laws. He raised four children and was closer to them than his father had been to him. With a fourth grade education, he went back to school at the age of 30.
