OH-01967

Abstract

Oral history interviews with Glynda White conducted by Claytee D. White on March 12, 2013 and August 23, 2014 for the African Americans in Las Vegas: a Collaborative Oral History Project. Glynda White begins by discussing her upbringing in Jackson, Tennessee, where her father was a member of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and was involved in the litigation to desegregate schools in the city. She explains how her father's activism inspired her to pursue a legal career and go to law school after graduating from Lambuth University. White discusses arriving in Las Vegas, Nevada in the 1970s to work as a teacher, later being on the board of the Las Vegas NAACP and working for the Nevada Black Chamber of Commerce. She describes her role at the College of Southern Nevada as a lead faculty member for the Department of Business Administration and Legal Studies, her teaching, and the work she has done to establish African American businesses in the Westside area of Las Vegas, as well as in North Las Vegas, Nevada.
