Description	Kathryn Jordan-Pierce (1948- ) graduated from The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) in 1970, majoring in psychology. She has a Master of Arts and Master of Education from Columbia University Teachers College in New York City. After teaching reading for many years, Jordan-Pierce is now a literacy coach in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Jordan-Pierce talks about growing up in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, and moving to Durham, North Carolina, when she was thirteen. She discusses attending Hillside High School in Durham, choosing to attend UNCG as her college, and riding on chartered buses to social mixers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to meet male students. She remembers her fellow black classmates, being a reader for sociology professor Dr. Joseph S. Himes, her reaction when she learned of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the Black Power Conference held on campus in 1967, the cafeteria workers' strike of 1968, and the founding of the Neo-Black Society. Jordan-Pierce recalls working at the New York Public Library after graduating from UNCG, attending Columbia University, teaching reading and literacy, and how attending UNCG made it possible for her to negotiate the real world.
