Ten interviews that chronicle the growth of Flagstaff's African-American community. Following World War II, a significant migration occurred when African-American sawmill workers from the southern states found they could earn a higher income in the southwest. In Flagstaff, they found a small logging town unaccustomed to their culture. Depending on their place of origin, some migrants perceived the city to be relatively accommodating while others did not. Most interviews include informal discussion of the timber industry, World War II, civil rights, and the Flagstaff police department.

Description
The tapes are arranged chronologically with the most recent interview first. Topics include Harry Hopkins and his relationship with Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hopkins' activities in the White House, foreign policy decisions made by the United States during World War II, and information about Hopkins' life. The interviews follow no set pattern. Mechanical difficulties make some sections of the tapes very difficult to understand.
