Scope and Contents
Anne-Marie Hogarth spoked about her family history; and being born, raised, and educated in Léogâne, a little town near Port-au-Prince, Haiti. She explained she was raised with people and among people. She described Léogâne, and some of its history and geography. She detailed her extended family history on both sides of her family, where they originated from, and when her family (father and mother) migrated to Léogâne. Hogarth explained she continued her education in Port-au-Prince, including completing the teaching program at Normal School for Teachers; and taught at different public schools in Haiti before migrating to the United States. She described how her life changed with the death of her mother, and her decision to finally study English. Hogarth spoked about 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 talked about completing her master's degree in French language and literature at Laval University in Quebec City, Canada; and teaching at Anacostia Senior High School, Gordon Junior High School and Federal City College in Washington, DC. She retired from teaching in the early-1990s. Hogarth described her work with Haitian migrant farm workers during summers, harvest time; first on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and later in Winchester, Virginia. She spoke about teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to migrant workers in Salisbury, Maryland, under President Carter's Department of Health, Education, and Welfare; 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 and transportation. Hogarth spoke about what she has done since her retirement, and her continued work and connection with the Haitian community. She talked about the current events and conditions in Haiti, Haitian people coming to the United States on boats, and the number of Haitian people dying in Haiti and during migration by boat. She explained that she has friends and extended relatives still in Haiti, and how she would like to go back to Haiti and help with rebuilding in Haiti when travel to Haiti is possible. After the interview, Hogarth explained her connection and Haiti's connection to Our Lady of Perpetual Help, located in southeast Washington, DC. Anne-Marie Hogarth was interviewed by J. Penn, circa 1995. Interview is in mostly English with minimal non-English language, most likely French or Haitian Creole. Digital audio files include white noise and static.
