Oral History (Florence Quinn-Davis)

Longtime Memphis' Douglass Community Resident Florence Quinn-Davis reflects on her childhood in Milton, Florida and 60+ years living in city's historic community.  At the time of the recording, Mrs. Quinn-Davis was a few weeks shy of turning 90 years old.  Born in 1934, she attended grade school and high school at Santa Rosa School (renamed Jackson High School) in Milton, FL which is located right outside of Pensacola.  She ultimately graduated from Booker T. Washington High school in Memphis years later.  The family is known throughout the Douglass Community with her children and family members graduating from one of the city's oldest schools, Douglass High School.   Email: wynn.earle@beaconlightstories.com Website: https://beaconlightstories.com/ [https://beaconlightstories.com/]

Oral History (The Pugh Sisters)

Sisters and Shelby County Residents, Gladys Pugh Lewis and Dollie Pugh Hall, reflect on their time in elementary and high school.  Gladys is 93 years old and Dollie is 83 years old.  Both attended the Gainesville School in Mason, TN. Gladys graduated from Barrets Chapel High School in Shelby County in 1948, and graduated with John Strong, Jr. who I interviewed for episodes 2 and 3. Dollie graduated from the Gailor Industrial School in Mason, TN in 1957. Their father, DC Pugh, served as the school bus driver for Black students of Mason, TN. The Pugh Family is known throughout Mason, TN as the family has been part of the community for over 100 years.   Email: wynn.earle@beaconlightstories.com Website: https://beaconlightstories.com/ [https://beaconlightstories.com/]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
