Tates Creek Branch - Large Meeting Room

The documentary features archival photographs of Maddoxtown and it's residential family as well as Faraway Farm, where Ms. Williams' father worked as a groom for notable thoroughbred racehorses, including the Horse of the Century, Man o' War. 

Ms. Williams' recollection of her education during the 1930s at Maddoxtown and Douglass Schools provides insight into the instrumental ways that the African-American community came together to support education within their community.
