C: I've enjoyed having you.

B: Thank you. Everything supposedly was within the black community
 for blacks to live. There are supermarkets, barber shops, restaurants,
 so forth. Would that be all here at Fifth Avenue in this community?

C: Now you know on Fifth Avenue, I know little, I was reared right here.

B: You were one block from Fifth Avenue.

C: But that's the street I never was allowed to just go on all the time.

B: You were not?

C: No. Only to cross Fifth Avenue. But they would say just you know,
 like girls walk out and go on Fifth Avenue and be walking up and down
 Fifth Avenue in the afternoon. I couldn't do that.

B: Why?

C: Well, most of the time the young men would be on.Fifth Avenue and my
 parents thought it wasn't ladylike for you to be hanging around on the
 streets and on the corners. So, I never did go out on Fifth Avenue.
 I go out Fifth Avenue more now than I did in my growing up time. As
 I first said, my parents were very strict.

B: What would you encourage the young ladies today to do ?

C: Well, I would encourage the young ladies to be more ladylike. I would
 encourage that. I would encourage them to dress better, very much so, be
 more ladylike, I would encourage that.

B: Do you feel that the values at home have gone down somewhat?

C: Well, I don't know. I guess so because now they are building modern
 homes now, you know. And they are not building bungalows now, like mine,
 but I'm enjoying mine, because I keep it up.

B: If you had to leave a statement that you would like a young man or a young
 lady that listens to this.tape the next fifty years, what would you want
 to leave with them that you think would be important for them to hear
 from Mrs. Willy Mae Stedmyre Crumpton?

C: First of all, if she's a young lady, be a young lady. Get your education
 and get a good job. Prove to the world that you can be equal to anybody.
 That goes for the man and the lady. First get your education so that you
 can be equal to anyone. Prove your equalization by working shoulder
 to shoulder with the other race. Let them know that you can do. Just
 as important as they are.
