Longtime Memphis' Douglass Community Resident Florence Quinn-Davis reflects on her childhood in Milton, Florida and 60+ years living in city's historic community.  At the time of the recording, Mrs. Quinn-Davis was a few weeks shy of turning 90 years old.  Born in 1934, she attended grade school and high school at Santa Rosa School (renamed Jackson High School) in Milton, FL which is located right outside of Pensacola.  She ultimately graduated from Booker T. Washington High school in Memphis years later.  The family is known throughout the Douglass Community with her children and family members graduating from one of the city's oldest schools, Douglass High School.
