    Edward Taylor was interviewed as part of the NMAAHC Donor Oral History Collection. Mr. Taylor donated a photograph of himself that was taken in Korea during the Korean War to the National Museum of African American History and Culture. He was 19 years old at the time the photograph was taken.
    Edward Taylor vividly recounts his childhood in the segregated world of Maryland’s eastern shore, including a particularly tragic incident involving racial violence. He continues on to tell the story of his experience as a combat infantryman during the Korean War, after the US military had been recently integrated. This story includes the tale of how he earned two Purple Hearts. Later, after he returns to the United States, he recounts a racial incident that lead him to discard his Purple Hearts in the Chesapeake Bay. The last part of the interview is devoted to his role as a pioneering educator in the desegregation of the public schools in Wicomico County, Maryland.

    John Jacob Oliver was interviewed as part of the NMAAHC Donor Oral History Collection. Mr. Oliver worked for the AFRO-American newspaper, which donated a printing press to the National Museum of African American History and Culture.
    In this oral history interview John Jacob Oliver gives a narrative of what it was like to grow-up in the Murphy family, which has published the AFRO-American newspaper since 1892. He discusses his childhood in Baltimore, Maryland, where he personally integrated John E. Howard elementary school in the 6th grade.

    Description
    An oral history interview of Smithsonian volunteer and Regent Jeannine Smith Clark, conducted on August 7, 2018 by Kelly Elaine Navies. The interview consists of one digital MOV video file captured on Canon 300, with a duration of 1:25:08. The file is 7.4 GB.
    In this interview, Ms. Clark discusses her life and work in Washington, DC, as well as her storied family history. The first part of the interview covers her early family life and education in Washington, DC. Her family has been in Washington, DC at least since the early 19th century. Her parents were the activist and business couple John Archibald and Lorena Jackson Smith. Clark attended DC’s historically prestigious Paul Laurence Dunbar High School, and later Howard University, where she met her husband, Charles Howell Clark, MD. She describes their meeting in this interview.
    The second half of the of the interview covers her various roles at the Smithsonian from being one of the very first African American docents when she started in 1968 in the midst of the Poor People’s Campaign, to being the first African American woman appointed to the Board of Regents. She also discusses being the Chair of the Women’s Committee and a founding member of the Cultural Education Committee. Towards the end of the interview, Ms. Clark reflects on the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Finally, Ms. Clark was in failing health during the interview and knew that she would be leaving this life soon. She passed away one day before her 90 birthday on October 4, 2018.

    Dr. Charles D. Kleymeyer was interviewed as part of the NMAAHC Donor Oral History Collection. Dr. Kleymeyer is a close friend and research partner of Juan Garcia. Juan Garcia Salazar, an Afro-Ecuadorean, donated the very first item to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, a carved stool of clear tropical hardwood etched with a spider web motif, symbolizing West African folklore character, Anansi the Spider. This item is featured in our Cultural Expression Gallery. Dr. Kleymeyer, who lives in the DC Metropolitan area, has often acted as interpreter for Garcia Salazar and was present when the stool was delivered to NMAAHC Director Lonnie Bunch.
    In this oral history interview Dr. Charles D. Kleymeyer discusses his life and work at length, including his memories of growing up near the African American community of Lyles Station in Indiana and the extensive work he did for many years with African and Indigenous peoples in Ecuador while working for the Inter-American Foundation (IAF). It was his work with the IAF that brought him into contact with Juan Garcia Salazar and he discusses their relationship in detail.
