Liz Ben-Jumbo oral history recording Part 2
Description
An audio recording of an oral history of Liz Ben-Jumbo. Ben-Jumbo grew up in Nigeria and traveled to the U.S. at 23 to go to college in Port Angeles, Washington. While in Port Angeles, she worked at a nursing home. She moved to Seattle to study Psychology at the University of Washington, returned to Nigeria, did service work and met her husband then came again to the U.S., first to attend Mississippi State, then graduated from Ohio State University in 1991 and moved to Portland, Oregon. She talks about her experiences of racial prejudice in the U.S. and her work as an educator on multicultural issues. She also goes by Elizabeth (Joy) Wosley-George, which she explains in the interview is her other last name. The recording stops and starts many times due to an issue with the tape recorder.
