    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Nurse Lillian Green was born in 1934 in Charleston, South Carolina. She remembers growing up on Short Street where she felt loved and protected by her community. However, her reality was different on her daily walk to Buist School. There, she encountered the hostility and hate of white children and police officers. She remembers with affection her teachers and the programs at the Henry P. Archer Auditorium. Years later, she attended Roper’s Practical Nursing School during segregation and kept working at Roper Hospital. In the interview, Green talks in length about her memories of the 1969 Charleston Hospital Workers Strike. She states the she supported the nurses’ demands but was not in a condition to stop working. She learned about the demands and actions directly from Mary Moultrie. She also remembers other activists such as William Saunders and Rev. Frederick Douglas Dawson and recalls the support provided by the Jewish community. Green share her memories about other related events including a church meeting where there was a bomb threat. Green argues Roper Hospital workers and many others around the country benefited by the strike’s achievements.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Anne Marie Gilliard (b. 1928) was born in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. Her father was a farmer and her mother a seamstress and washerwoman. Gilliard attended school until the fourth grade and soon after started working with her mother mending and ironing clothes. In this interview, she remembers going with her sick sister to the Cannon Hospital in downtown Charleston. The trip would take all day and the building was old and dilapidated, but the nurses were kind and professional. Gilliard reflects on the penury of living in Charleston and negotiating relationships with white residents but also with upper-class blacks. She states that people from the rural areas distrusted both white and black doctors and the medications they prescribed. Gilliard recalls she was a teenager when she discovered the places for dancing and drinking. She met a musician from Chicago and started singing in clubs, but when she got pregnant, he abandoned her. Later, she got married to another man and had another son. The family relocated on Awendaw and she rarely made it back to Charleston.]]></dcterms:description>
