Abstract
Oral history interview with Reverend Prentiss Walker conducted by Bernard Timberg on January 27, 1974 for the Ralph Roske Oral History Project on Early Las Vegas. Walker discusses Las Vegas, Nevada from 1933 to the early 1970s, including the equality of opportunity and social acceptance that black citizens enjoyed in Las Vegas in the thirties. He also recalls how black people did not look upon southern Nevada as a place of permanent residence, but rather as a temporary place to earn money quickly.
