History Conversations REWIND | The Making of a Pearl: The Life of Quince Orchard Resident Ida Pearl Green
May 5 - May 11
Join Montgomery History in remembering the life of Ida Pearl Green, June 18, 1918 – April 17, 2025 through this History Conversation with her granddaughter which originally aired in February 2024.
with Dr. Kisha Davis | pre-recorded virtual event |
Through daily weekday breakfasts with her grandmother, Dr. Kisha Davis learned stories of family and an African American community in Quince Orchard which went much deeper than the name of her school or a road named Quince Orchard. At 105 years young at the time of this recording, Mrs. Green was a lifelong resident of Montgomery County. Through her family’s history from slavery through integration of both schools and churches, her granddaughter shares the complex history of race relations in the county. It is a testament to resilience and turning adversity into something beautiful.
Recording available May 5 – May 11.
