Description
Jim Johnson shares his experience in Asheville during the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 1965 he lived in Montford and attended a naturally integrated school, then moved to north Asheville and attended Ira B. Jones, a naturally segregated school. In 1969, during his 8th grade year, schools were just starting to be formally integrated and he attended David Millard Junior High. He recalls the Asheville High School Riot of 1969 and watching another one in 1972, or 1973 when he was a Junior. He also talks about downtown Asheville during the '60s and '70s.
