He told us about his formal education and how they were very interested in. I said, “Your handwriting is just magnificent.” That was part of, it's almost like if it was calligraphy. He said that was a part of their education. He would tell me the town that he lived in. One day he'd wake up, it would be German. One day it would be Russian. The governments would switch around. I think if it had been up to him, he would have stayed over there, he used to call it the old country. He would've stayed there but I think his brothers were coming to the United States, his sisters, so he came with them. He met my grandmother, and I think it might have been fixed up, but it was a good match. I'll tell you something interesting about my grandfather Hirsch. He had lots of brothers, and they came over to Atlanta. Some of them were very successful, some of them weren't. I can't say that my grandfather was so successful with business, but he was the sweetest, nicest man in the world and so to me he was successful. He always used to talk to me about his sister Dina. He would say, “She's in Palestine. My sister Dina is in Palestine and one day, I'd like to go visit her.” See, back then, there was a whole group of immigrants, they formed an organization. I don't know the names. They were early pioneers in Israel. This is like the late 1800s, early 1900s. This was their purpose. They were pioneers over there. She left her family, his sister, and moved over there to Israel. I've actually met her great-grandchildren, I've met her son, I have met some of those relatives that left with my grandfather's sister, and they have a family in Israel, so it's very kind of neat.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930#t=472.0,632.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930/transcript/92992/annotation/29","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eCOHEN:\u003c/strong\u003e You mentioned your father's occupation, that he went into dress manufacturing.

People don't really realize this. Georgia Tech did not have girls. Emory didn't have girls to date. If these boys wanted to date, they came and picked the high school girls. When I'm talking high school, I'm taking 15, 16. We're going over dating at Georgia Tech and Emory. At that age. It's unheard of, because that's how Atlanta was set up. There weren't many girls at Emory, and not many girls all at Tech. If they wanted to date they had to date the high school girls. It was very interesting. I don't know if there's another city that could say that. Every time I see these 15 [year old girls], I think we were dating at that age. Anyway, after high school I went to University of Missouri to college. I went there for two years. I made some wonderful, wonderful friends that I'm still friendly with. After that, I transferred to University of Georgia and I graduated Georgia with a degree in elementary education. That led me to another interesting story about my life. I was certified to teach elementary education. I had been, actually to Europe for the summer, came back and found out one day later that I had to go to the school I was assigned to. I go to this school, and the school is in a black neighborhood. I see a couple of Jewish women that I know that are there as teachers. Turns out, my sister and I had figured this out, the city of Atlanta was doing. They were sending the Jewish girls to some of these slum, low-income schools. There I am at this school and truthfully it was a wonderful experience. I met some interesting people, and I stayed there for one year. It was tough though. It was very, very tough because their background was not like getting a kid from second grade, a regular second grade, normal background. They were behind. But I tried to do the best I could do and I've run into these; this is another quick story. I was keeping up on Facebook with my star student from that class and one day he says to me, \"We're having a reunion. A 30-year reunion. We'd like for you to come. You'll see some of your students.\" I went to this reunion, these kids I hadn't seen since they went seventh grade, no, since they were in second grade. It was the cutest thing in this world. I met them out at Greenbriar. They were all my students.  It was very special.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930#t=1306.0,1498.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930/transcript/92992/annotation/61","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eCOHEN:\u003c/strong\u003e Obviously, you were special to them.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930#t=1498.0,1500.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930/transcript/92992/annotation/62","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cstrong\u003eSILVER:\u003c/strong\u003e I was, and I didn't realize that I was that kind of teacher.

Those camps meant a lot to me. It was a great way to . . . enjoy your religion because we did it at camp. We learned prayers from camp. It was wonderful. Blue Star was wonderful. We were in organizations. We were in, I was in something called STP [Sigma Theta Pi]. It was a social club. It had nothing to do with synagogue or anything, and truthfully, I really didn't like it. Eventually I dropped out. We were not involved with B'nai B'rith. We should have been, but we weren't. A lot of people on the other side of town were very involved with B'nai B'rith groups.

But they functioned very well. Jill was very popular. She was homecoming queen. She's president of her class. It never held them back.  I'll tell you a funny story. We had our 30-year high school reunion. Arthur and I used to try to go to as many reunions as we could, so we go. Someone, the MC [Master of Ceremonies], gets up there and he starts talking about all the fun things that the class had, all the fun parties they went to, and all the dances, and all of the great things that they did while they went high school. Then, for some reason, they called me up. I don't know why. Why would they call me? They called me and there I am, stuck up there. You have to realize this was a pretty big reunion. This was about maybe 100 people. There I am and I go, what am I going to talk about? They all went to these parties. I was never included. They went to these dances. Not one person ever asked me. What do you think I did? I got up there and told them that. “I wasn’t at any of your dances. You talk about that party. I was never invited.” That's what I did. My husband, if he could have, he'd have dug a hole and gone under it. He was so embarrassed. That’s what I told them. After that, this is the craziest thing, after that I start getting invited to everything, funerals. I got a written invitation for a funeral. I got invited to everything. I'm not kidding you. All because of standing up and saying that. Then I ran into people that weren't at the reunion, just around town, [and they said,] \"Oh my god, Carla, we missed you, we heard you was so great,” all that.

Noted legislative achievements during this phase of the Civil Rights Movement were passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968.\u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930#t=1630.0,1637.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930/annotation_set/2486/annotation/166","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003eJim Crow laws were state and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965. The name seems to have originated in the song “Jump Jim Crow,” a song-and-dance caricature of Blacks performed by white actor Thomas D. Rice in Blackface in 1832. As a result of Rice’s fame, “Jim Crow” became a pejorative expression meaning “Negro” by 1838 and the later segregation laws became known as “Jim Crow” laws. Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation in all public facilities in the southern states of the former Confederacy, with a supposedly “separate but equal” status for Black Americans, although in reality this was not so. Some examples of Jim Crow laws are the segregation of public schools, places, and public transportation and the segregation of restrooms, restaurants and drinking fountains for whites and Blacks. Private businesses, political parties, and unions created their own Jim Crow arrangements, barring Blacks from buying homes in certain neighborhoods, from shopping or working in certain stores, from working at certain trades, etc. In the middle twentieth century, the Supreme Court began to overturn Jim Crow laws on constitutional grounds. Rosa Parks defied the Jim Crow laws when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man, which became a catalyst to the Civil Rights movement. Her actions, and the demonstrations that followed, led to a series of legislative and court decisions that contributed to undermining the Jim Crow system. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 officially ended Jim Crow segregation laws.\u003c/p\u003e","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930#t=1630.0,1637.0"},{"id":"https://thebreman.aviaryplatform.com/collections/994/collection_resources/169386/file/307930/annotation_set/2486/annotation/167","type":"Annotation","motivation":"supplementing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDr. Arthur B.
