B: not coming to whites and that you have your own societies, you do not
 have blacks making the grades that they should make.

C: As long as they say that, that will be. But it is not so. Every white
 does not come up. Is that right? Am I right?

B: That is right.

C: Every white does not come up, Some of the black do not come up. Some
 of the blacks come up, do they not?

B: Yes.

C: And do some of the whites come up?

B: Yes.

C: Okay. That is your answer. Do not ever think that blacks can not be
 equal with the whites because that is the worst statement they can make.
 I am just as important as every white woman in this town.

B: Are you?

C: I am. I may not have the money. Now that is where we may be different.
 But other than that, I will measure up. From housekeeping up to the classroom.

B: This question I have been asking, I am not quite sure I am going to
 get a very loaded answer and you are going to probably run me out of
 here, the children that you taught, did they get the very best from
 Mrs. Stedmyre Crumpton?

C: I gave them my best, If they had taken it in, some of them I know took
 it in cause some of them are working on different good jobs, have good jobs.
 I have been in contact with some of my students and I am very proud of
 them.

B: You have done a good job. You feel that you have been successful then
 as a teacher?

C: Yes. I do feel that I have been,

B: Would you teach again if you had to?

C: If I had to, I would. But I am retired now, I want to rest,

B: Let us go back about fifty years or thirty years. If you had a chance
 to do it all over again, would you be a teacher, or what else would you have
 done?

C: I would be a teacher. I would love to be, if I had to go back that far, yes.

B: Why?
