I have a lot of precious memories for that school because it was where I taught as soon as I finished my college education at Alabama State University. I found Whitley to be one of the best secrets that could be found. It was a good school where teachers cared about students.   Lois Watson recalls her time as both a teacher and principal at Whitley Elementary School.

You gotta care for them, and just think of them as your own. Give them all of the things that you would want your child to have. And not miss a one, so that child can be a well-rounded student.   Lois talks about how her upbringing influenced her teaching methods and what important characteristics a good teacher needs.

No matter what color they are, every momma, every daddy wants the best for their child. No matter what color they are. If you keep that in your mind and you keep, 'Now, is this what I would want for my child?    Lois talk about her experience teaching during the racial integration of the Mobile school and how she overcame her initial apprehensions.

And it was just so rewarding-- so warm. They loved their teachers. If you taught in that community, they loved you. And if you gave them all you had, they knew it and they didn’t’ forget you. It’s always such a warm experience meeting students of the past.   Lois talks about her relationship with the community of Africatown.

You know, at one time, as long as you received your high school diploma, that was all that was necessary as far as so many communities felt. Students at Mobile County Training School grew to desire more and wanted to further their education.   Lois reflects on her experiences as a teacher and the changes she has noticed throughout the years.

I&amp;#039 ; m here with Ms. Lois Watson, it&amp;#039 ; s -- what day is it? -- March 29th.  And we&amp;#039 ; re in Mobile, Alabama. Ms. Watson, could you go ahead and say your,  um...see I have my cheat sheet. Your full name, your birth date, and your birthplace.    Ms. Watson: My name is Lois Smith Watson, my address is 2300 Wagner  Street, Mobile, Alabama.     Zimmy: And your birth date and the location.    Ms. Watson: My birth date is September 2nd, 1933.    Zimmy: And where were you born?    Ms. Watson: Pardon?    Zimmy: Where were you born?    Ms. Watson: Mobile. Alabama.    Zimmy: Great, fantastic. So if we can just start off with you talking a little bit about Whitley Elementary? You&amp;#039 ; re a teacher there.    Ms. Watson: Okay. I was fortunate enough to be assigned my first year teaching  at Whitley School. I have a lot of precious memories for that school because it  was where I taught as soon as I finished my college education at Alabama State  University. I found Whitley to be one of the best secrets that could be found. It was a good school where teachers cared about students.    Zimmy: Wow, yeah. So you said it was a well-kept secret?    Ms. Watson: A well-kept secret because it&amp;#039 ; s a small town, and the parents there  were so interested in their children. They put their children first and that  interest just spilled over into the schools and the community. It was a place of  learning excellence.    Zimmy: Do you have any specific memories or stories about teaching there that  you&amp;#039 ; d like to share?    Ms. Watson: Well, I can say I was the youngest teacher on the faculty. And I  was given the opportunity of getting the best that each of the older teachers  had to give as far as what was good for students, how to get parents to  cooperate, how to get students to learn to the best of their ability.    Zimmy: So it sounds like you learned a lot there.    Ms. Watson:  I did learn a lot at Whitley. I learned what it takes to be an  excellent teacher. I learned to give my all. Students always remember those  teachers who gave them their all. And if you sit down with any of them, they can  tell you, &amp;#039 ; My favorite teacher was...&amp;#039 ;  And I always wanted to be that teacher.    Zimmy: That&amp;#039 ; s great. That&amp;#039 ; s really great. And so you came back a little bit later as principal of Whitley, correct?    Ms. Watson: Yes! I had the opportunity of being offered a principal&amp;#039 ; s position  there. So I was principal there for about two years, and I got a chance to  really see what principals really went through in dealing with teachers and  students and parent relationships.    Zimmy: And what was that like there, specifically?    Zimmy: What was that like at Whitley Elementary in particular?    Ms. Watson: Oh, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed it because I had a chance to share with  young teachers what they needed to know in going into the classroom where there were students who were waiting for them to give them what they needed to prepare them for life.    Zimmy: And what do you recall of the Whitley Elementary area being like when  you were teaching there?    Ms. Watson: It was an area where parents were very concerned about their  children. They gave them what they needed. They gave them what they wanted. But all of them were really interested in their children growing to be the kinds of  citizens that we would want them to be. And this was very important to them.    Zimmy: Yeah. So, before we started the interview, you mentioned  education and religion as being the two most important driving forces--    Ms. Watson: Yes, bringing both of them together. Religious values and the  desire to know more created a desire to strive for excellence. In that little  town, you had a lot of older people there, and they were very influential in  seeing that Plateau was on the map. They gave it all that they had, and I was  one of the younger ones to step in behind them and carry on that tradition.    Zimmy: And you grew up in Prichard?    Ms. Watson: Yes.    Zimmy: How was that, and how was teaching in Whitley after having grown up there?    Ms. Watson: So it was an opportunity for me to get more of what I needed in  order to be the teacher that I&amp;#039 ; d always wanted to be.    Zimmy: Yeah. And can you speak a little bit more about growing up in Prichard?    Ms. Watson: Well...growing up in Prichard was very interesting. I&amp;#039 ; m from a  large family. My father was a minister and my mother was a teacher, however, she never taught after marrying and having children because she had eight. But she always had the tools that a good teacher needed. And she instilled in all eight of us, the value of a good education. And how important it was -- along with my daddy. So we got it through the week and then we got it on Sundays. Then we got it all through our lives, from Saturdays to Sunday.    Zimmy: Wow, yeah.    Nathan: Can I follow up on something?    Zimmy: Please.    Nathan: You mentioned a couple times the tools that every teacher needs. And I&amp;#039 ; m wondering if you can talk a little bit more about what those are and what  you learned about -- I mean, perhaps specifically, to the community you taught  in. And then, perhaps more generally as well.    Ms. Watson: Well, I always thought of a teacher being the kind of teacher that  she would want for her children. And if that teacher had all the characteristics  of the teacher she wanted for her students -- for her children -- that would be  the perfect teacher.    Zimmy: And can you speak to those characteristics a little bit more?    Ms. Watson: Really, in order to teach, you&amp;#039 ; ve gotta...you&amp;#039 ; ve gotta love  them. You gotta care for them, and just think of them as your own. Give them all  of the things that you would want your child to have. And not miss a one, so  that child can be a well-rounded student.    Zimmy: That&amp;#039 ; s fantastic, yeah.    Nathan: You talked a little bit also about working for the school district  through the process of the school district integrating, and I was wondering,  kind of, what that was like and what impact that had on the school district as  you were working in it.    Ms. Watson: Well, at first it was scary. Walking into a school where there had  not previously been not even one Black teacher -- in a totally white environment  -- was quite a challenge for me. And I don&amp;#039 ; t think that most of the teachers  there -- the principal and all -- had not had the experience of working with a  Black person and I had the qualities that would let the principal know that I  had all the tools that I needed to work with to educate that child. Children are  children. No matter what color they are, every momma, every daddy wants the best  for their child. No matter what color they are. If you keep that in your mind  and you keep, &amp;#039 ; Now, is this what I would want for my child?     Zimmy: Alright. So, just to kind of clarify, were you -- you were still working  in the Mobile Public School District during integration?    Ms. Watson: Yes.     Zimmy: Okay.    Ms. Watson: And I found that children, they&amp;#039 ; re just children. Everywhere -- no  matter what color they are -- they&amp;#039 ; re children. And they need what you have to  offer them. No matter the differences, they all have a thirst for knowledge and  as a teacher I knew I could give them the things they needed to prepare them for the world. Children are children    Zimmy: I think that&amp;#039 ; s all the questions I have right now, *to Nathan* how  about you?    Nathan: I have a couple I wanted to follow up on.    Zimmy: Yeah, please do.    Nathan: So when we were talking about the Africatown Plateau community earlier, you said that you have always found it to be incredibly warm, and that when you go to visit the community that people are always saying, &amp;#039 ; Hi Ms. Watson!&amp;#039 ;     Ms. Watson: Yeah, always! I look forward to it.    Nathan: Yeah, can you talk a little more about, kind of what your relationship  with the community has been over time?    Ms. Watson: It was a warm relationship, So many of them I taught in the  first grade and then I taught their children later. And it was just so  rewarding-- so warm. They loved their teachers. If you taught in that community,  they loved you. And if you gave them all you had, they knew it and they didn&amp;#039 ; t&amp;#039 ;   forget you. It&amp;#039 ; s always such a warm experience meeting students of the past.    Nathan: Were those warm relationships between students and teachers something -- like, was that something you knew was gonna be the case when you started teaching, or is that something that you kind of discovered over time?    Ms. Watson: You&amp;#039 ; re learning a whole lot more than you think you&amp;#039 ; re learning, by  being out there with students and teaching. You think of all of the things that  you have learned, and the things that you know children need, and you just work  towards giving it to them. The best way you can. I always gave them all I had.  If I had a talent that I wanted to share like piano --- I shared it with them..   New skills would develop new interests. I tried to give them new experiences.  It&amp;#039 ; s something when you teach kids and watch them grow. Watch them really want -- they&amp;#039 ; re very hungry, and in need of good teachers.    Zimmy: And, kind of to follow up on the question that Nathan just asked, did  you find those warm relationships were particularly common in Africatown, or did  you find them everywhere that you taught?    Ms. Watson: If you&amp;#039 ; re a good teacher, you&amp;#039 ; ll get it everywhere you go. I  just was in that area. But they&amp;#039 ; re all just as warm, they&amp;#039 ; re students, they&amp;#039 ; re  parents. So no matter what color you are...you know, it doesn&amp;#039 ; t matter. If  you&amp;#039 ; re in that classroom and you give it all you&amp;#039 ; ve got and teach those kids.  The relationship is established and they&amp;#039 ; ll always love you.    Nathan: So how did you work for the school district for?    Ms. Watson: You know, I want to get that information. And I&amp;#039 ; m gonna get it  because I worked...thirty...about thirty-seven years. And...yeah, I worked about  thirty-seven years in the school system. And I had a chance to really -- I was  one of the first Blacks to be placed in a white environment to teach, and they  sent me to Semmes, a little suburb town, very nice, but I had never been to  Semmes. I did not know anything about Semmes, but I had to go there because if I was going to do anything with my education, I had to go where they sent me. And it was an experience I&amp;#039 ; ll never forget. I enjoyed it, I was accepted just like  anybody else, you know? So I could even tell other teachers what to do, and how to. How to go in and do what needs to be done without looking at color. And you just have to do that. And I enjoyed my teaching. It was a joy.    Nathan: And so, over those almost forty years that you spent in the  school district, how did you see it change or evolve over time? I&amp;#039 ; m curious.  Like, how it was when you began versus how it was when you left.    Ms. Watson: It was -- when I first went into the school system, it changed,  because it allowed -- integration allowed teachers to work with others on that  same level. And work with kids and get the best out of them.     Nathan: And then, I think my last question is, through your, kind of,  the time you spent in the Africatown/Plateau community, I&amp;#039 ; m curious how you&amp;#039 ; d  seen that community kind of change and evolve from your first years, you know,  working at Whitley and growing up in Prichard and all that to today.    Ms. Watson: How have I seen it change? Well, it has changed, because you had  different people and more were being educated. You know, at one time, as long as you received your high school diploma, that was all that was necessary as far as so many communities felt. Students at Mobile County Training School grew to  desire more and wanted to further their education. They wanted to go as far as  they could go, and you have doctors, lawyers, teachers, college professors, and  every profession that you can think of.  You have many prominent, productive  people that have come from Mobile County Training School.    Nathan: Is there anything else that you wanted to add that we haven&amp;#039 ; t talked  about, or from your days at Whitley, or...? Anything else?
