Though she would not confirm her age, Ms. Green has seen a lot of Lawrence County's history. A lifelong educator, she is also a profound storyteller. Ms. Green has often been asked to share her life stories because of their personal inspiration and significance to history beyond North Alabama. She has many troubling yet moving accounts of racial discrimination and personal perseverance. Her nephew, Deangelo McDaniel, is a writer for the Decatur Daily. Mr. McDaniel composes stories about African American life and history across North Alabama. He is well connected and passionate about local history and the members of the communities who have contributed to the making of North Alabama. Both Ms. Green's and Mr. McDaniel's stories and knowledge are indispensable when studying Lawrence and Morgan counties. - (4721)
