Scope and Contents
Anne Marie Hogarth spoked about her migration story to the United States from Haiti in 1961; her educational and teaching background in Haiti and the United States; teaching French and English in Kentucky, Washington, DC, and Maryland; and working with Haitian migrant farm workers in Salisbury, Maryland and Winchester, Virginia, and for the DELMARVA Rural Ministry Health Project. Hogarth detailed her exchange student experience at Nazareth College in Kentucky where she learned English and taught French as well as earned an American degree in education in the early to mid-1960s. She discussed her difficulty adjusting to life in Kentucky because of the differences in food, weather, and language as well as her age of almost 40 and recent death of her mother; and the support of the sisters at the small, religious Catholic College. She explained her decision to move from Kentucky to Washington, DC. Having taught in public schools in Haiti prior to arriving in the United States, Hogarth described the differences in teaching styles between Haiti and the United States. She also explained the differences in her experiences, the environment, and how she was perceived at Nazareth College versus Anacostia Senior High School as well as she was perceived in regards to race in Haiti versus the United States. Hogarth talked about teaching at Gordon Junior High School and Federal City College; completing her master's degree at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada; and connecting with Haitian community, music, dance, and her country in Washington, DC in the late-1960s. She also talked about her experiences and relationship to the Black Power Movement and civil rights in the 1960s as well as the challenges of school integration, bussing, and large class sizes when she was teaching in DC public schools. Hogarth described her work with Haitian migrant farm workers beginning in 1980; first on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and later in Winchester, Virginia. She spoke in detail about Haitian American Training Institute (HATI) in Salisbury, Maryland and funded by the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; teaching English to migrant workers; and the working conditions and everyday life of the migrant workers. Next, Hogarth described her work as an outreach interpreter with the DELMARVA Rural Ministries Health project in which she helped migrant people with interpretation, health service work, and transportation. She explained some of the health issues and conditions of Haitian people in detail, and the migrant streams on the East Coast and West Coast of the United States. Hogarth also explained why she worked with Haitian migrant workers during the summer. Anne Marie Hogarth was interviewed in 1993. Interview is in mostly English with minimal non-English language, most likely French or Haitian Creole. Digital audio files include white noise and static. There are several minutes within the last 10 minutes of the recording ACMA_AV000749_B in which no voices can be heard (too far from microphone / think interviewee is looking for something and talking at the same time). Interviewer's voice is very soft and difficult to hear for the most part, particularly in regards to recording ACMA_AV000749_A.
