Experience of Birth and A Change

Experience of Birth and A Change

African Americans -- Public opinion

Childbirth

North Carolina, Western -- Race relations

This document includes two essays by Arnold James Hyde (1914-2010), written for a reviewer, perhaps a teacher. One titled “Experience of Birth,” is a third-person account of childbirth with perspective shifting between the fetus, mother, and father. The ending appears to be missing since the essay cuts off abruptly, mid-sentence. The other essay is titled “A Change” and describes how he was raised to think of Black people and how he now feels about Black people after working side by side with a colleague. This essay has a reviewer’s note at the bottom. Hyde was born in Graham County, NC, graduated from Robbinsville High School, and then later from Western Carolina Teachers College (Western Carolina University) in 1938. He married Dorothy Roberts, of Buncombe County, NC, in 1943, and they had two daughters.
