AACHM Oral History: Janice Thompson

Please take a moment to take our Living Oral History Survey and let us know what you learned.

Janice Thompson was born in 1939 and grew up in Ypsilanti. She reminisces about visits from her Detroit relatives to her home in the "country," some of the prejudice she faced during her school years, and pranks she played with friends in Ypsilanti neighborhoods. Ms. Thompson received a master's degree in social work, working for a time at the Veteran's Administration hospital and running programs for public housing children.

Off To See The Sights - Sheri Shipmon -- in the striped blouse -- and Mrs. Shipmon are among those saying their good-byes as 41 members of the Ann Arbor public housing youth clubs and six adult chaperones leave for a one-week charter bus trip that will take in sights from Ottawa, Ont., to New York City and Mammoth Cave National Park. Even before the bus left Monday evening, the little guy in the foreground was obviously missing someone who went on the tour. The trip was planned after the youths found they were falling short of efforts to raise enough money, through events conducted during recent months, to meet their original goal of a trip to London and Paris.
