- Summary
-
This is an oral history interview with Deloris "Marie" Johnson and Napoleon Johnson conducted as part of the Houston History Project. Deloris Johnson and Napoleon Johnson were classmates at Yates High School. This interview was intended to be a preliminary meeting with several members of the Class of 1958. Deloris and Napoleon discuss some of their experiences as students at Yates. Some parts of the interview include a discussion of future interview logistics such as what themes should be discussed, and identifying others from the class of 1958 that should be interviewed. Napoleon Johnson does go into some detail about his professional life, including his work at NASA and as an anchorman at channel 2. Deloris Johnson was interviewed again separately for this project.
