Summary
[edit]DescriptionAnnie Mae Nipson (13270228784).jpg |
English: Biography: A domestic worker for more than 50 years, Annie Mae Nipson was brought up by her mother, Louisa Moore, and started her career at the age of ten as a live-in maid for a family in Asheville, N.C. She was professionally trained in domestic science at the Biltmore School, which was sponsored by the Vanderbilt family. The Vanderbilts employed her upon graduation. She also worked for the Graham family using her skills as a cook and flower arranger. She and her husband, John William Nipson, Jr., moved North in 1917 seeking higher paying jobs and better educational opportunities for their children. Choosing Clearfield, Pa., because a friend lived there, she maintained the offices of Robinson Clay Works, where her husband worked, for over 20 years. Still living in Clearfield, Mrs. Nipson has raised a family of six children and has been an active supporter of her church. Description: The Black Women Oral History Project interviewed 72 African American women between 1976 and 1981. With support from the Schlesinger Library, the project recorded a cross section of women who had made significant contributions to American society during the first half of the 20th century.
