StoryCorps Atlanta: A Couple, A Clinic And Crossville, Ala.

StoryCorps Atlanta

In 1952, Alabama natives, Bonita and Bill Crawford had recently finished their medical degrees – she as a Medical Technologist and he as a General Practitioner.  

Now, at 81 years old, Bonita talks with her daughter Nilha Pearce and granddaughter Courtney Pearce about what came next for the young couple in the little town called Crossville. 

This story was recorded in partnership with the Atlanta History Center, which hosts Atlanta’s StoryCorps booth.
