Abstract

This collection consists of oral history interviews that document a project that came to be called the Fellowship House Day Camp, a racially integrated day camp in Knoxville, Tennessee held every summer from 1950 until 1972. Those interviewed include former campers as well as parents and others who were involved in the project’s development and ongoing operation. The interviews were recorded during 2014 and 2015 by Mary Beth Bingman with support of the Berea College Sound Archives Fellowship Program.
