P: I'm Leigh Payne, and I'll be talking with Reverend T.B. McPhearson
remrnevibr& i'r
on Gainesville in the twenties, as he d4itji. Today is April
10
f~gep, '73, and it's about 6:30.
(Break in tape)
....Gainesville, Mr. McPhearson?
M: All of my life I've stayed here through my high school and
after then I had the privilege to go to college. I haven't had
a very interesting elementary and high school life here in
wel I
Gainesville. I can remember very 4'k some of the things as you
talk about it. What Main Street used to be the center of town,
and the Atlantic Coastline Depot was where the First National
Bank is now. And the train would come to the Atlantic CoastIine
Depot, where the bank is now, and right down where you find the
old Star Garage (?) was a hotel. It would come by them and go
down and get their lunch, back the train back up to the station.
And then would stay there for a while, this was dinnertime. Then
I had the unusual privilege when I was a little boy. I stayed
on the University, almost on the University of Florida campus, all
-c
ki my high school days9 where the student dropped a set of years
at now, I lived with the family that wasAthe Garrs, the E.T. Garrs,
they were very liberal, and they were interested in me getting a
good education. They knew my mother, who was a very hard worker,
and they did everything they could to see that I would get a good
education, and I was kind of proud of it. And I can tell you
AL 40A
sj
about University Avenue. University Avenue, I can remember
University Avenue when there wasn't a University Avenue, they
called it the Rock Road. And on it, we can stop to looking after
some of the things that you saw right now where the railroad is
now, and on that corner where you have the-shopping center, there
was a laundry there. They called that the Old Gainesville Laundry,
run by E. P. Bevel. And then as you moved uptown
eL rc P CC^ se-)+C I've)
my mother worked for eth re4-ie, Frank Clark, she had the
privilege of raising a Mrs. Lillian Clark, which now lives in
this town and is married to a businessman. The urTon Bank was
TJC. Perne*k
right across the street, right where ?/ .itdnteth store was,
that was downtown, and across from the 3~uf-om Bank, where the
Florida National Bank is now, that, at that time, was the
Presbyterian Church, and it had a little bank a little bit further
around the corner, the F r~oje State Bank, I can remember
when I lost three dollars in the Wvi-le State Bank 'cause my
parents had started IP learning to save at that particular time.
Now, may I tell you, some of the other things that you wanted to
know about athletics.
P: That would be very good.
M: And, the veryAdays, I apzbd remember in the very early twenties,
that W we had a good team at GHS. It wasn't called GHS at that
time, and one of the Gainesville schoolls, where Kirby-Smith
School is now, that was the first high school football field that
we had in town. I remember Lincoln played a team, Lincoln used
WCe
to play university, A played a team on Atlanta on that field.
However, I can remember those teams that had some of the fellows)
AL 40A 3
sj
M: Gcor pe nlar f1rco was the quarterback on one of those teams, very close
ieh to me now, but at that time, my mother used to do a little work
for them on the weekends, his father was the/vice-president of the
University of Florida, and I knew a lot of them, and I met him
quite a bit at this particular time, but he was one of the players
on that team. I can remember the great quarterback Edgar Jones
played on that team, and I remember another young fellow named
Va had a reJi ball club, that was one of the great
teams/up until this year, that GHS has had. Uh, rhCY1 iO-er
the years, I hung around Gainesville enough to know your coach.
My is a little boy, believe it or not, I can remember
Ilack^ k-, o-
when we built Citizen's Field. WY wanted the wh-i4-es to he. a
contribution made to that field. And I can remember he being a
fine young man playing on that ,and I had some of my boys
on that team, we didn't have a whole lot of money to give, but
we built the toilet that you see on the end down there, by going
to Camp Blane- and bringing them in. The first group of seats
I can see \ov, and my boys together putting those
seats up, and over the years, there grew a friendship, that they
have never separated from it. I'm very happy right now, -I a w ei.
-+E6 talking about this, this is a you never
realize what's gonna come out of the future. If tOe vJe Ca~_ ours',sc! 5
0ropevki, -Y\\ tre days that we are now i\
I, I could talk a lot about the things if you were specific. Uh,
would you want to ask me about some'of the privileges and things,
I, I can remember the privileges were limited to- i,.', ", 'I
aqj Gainesville i,& \ O v4J '', certainly has grown, if
AL 40A 4
sj
you could look back now, turn back the,
and look, you will see a lot different than everything, the way
we live, the way we act, the things that we had to offer in
Gainesville, we were limited, very limited. As I told you just
a while ago, you'd come down University Avenue, what you call
University Avenue, that was a rock road. It had one grocery
store and a bakery shop, ail m j &t, t r': ,& laundry that I was
telling you about. And the, the grocery store, I never will forget
it, called Hickenbottem's Grocery Store, and we, IM Twentieth
Century c. es ?J- used to be, right now, in front of Santa Fe
Junior College. It was a set of attractions forAoutstanding
whites at that time, and every now and then they, they wanted
to do good things for people in the neighborhood. And I have
nothing against them because that was in that day, but a lot of
changes,^ have taken place in Gainesville in these past
years. I can remember the good itkball teams, too, because
when you have me talk about
the twenties, I finished high school in Gainesville in 1928, and
after finishing high school in 1928, can you believe it or not,
one of the coaches at University of Florida was so interested in
my going to college until he paid the first money for the beoks,
and that was, of course, N. \\ ^' 'i'l.( v. :-." ,_, -.
my first 3e-1 s tIto the college, i enjoyed some
moments of .C.%r J' .g up.

AL 40A 5
sj
want to say this so that everybody hear me say, I love people, and
I would like to see our city continue to grow in the right type of
spirit where people will love people, and I say this to boys, whether
theyiwhite, whether theyiblack. The only success, true success
that we can is to love people.
P: Makes a lot of sense.
M: And if you, you see a whole lot of the things that happened back
in the early days, you didn't have as much education, neither
white nor black, we didn't have too much experiences, and maybe
nowhere in the United States that I, I like to look after
because there have been some other great people who have made
contributions. We lost a good friend, and I like to tell this
one, somebody, nobody knows that I was one of the.4gJakk ba-kaO -
for black people getting a chance to go to Sunland Training Center.
I.t-was made possible by Senator Shands, who lives now,Athis is in
the early twenties, too. I, uh, Senator Shands, and out of that
came -eawue ReveecnA .Gordon and I served at that time on
a committee who was interested in advancing the disadvantaged
people, and let me tell you, it was a pleasure working with those
people. ,/ver the the years, people like ReI ,hd Gordon, people
like Dr. Lewis from the University of Florida. peoplee like
Fvxtmn Springfield. I worked very hard, not so much to advance
reason, but to advance people, advanceAlove for one another, and
fairness for people. And this, this to me, is interesting when
I look back to the backgroundsA some of the things that they were
trying to do, even in that day. I know we laugh sometimes when
we talk about how far we've come -. and integration, at
AL 40A 6
sj
that time, the segregation, and it took a whole lot of guts to
stand up for some of the principles that men like Dr. Gordon.
So much I could tell you about Gainesville. I'd like to tell
you something about the first schools. I remember that GHS,
first school, is now where Santa Fe is, Santa Fe Junior College
is on University Avenue, that division. Then came the Lincoln
High School, which is now where the A. Quinn Jones School. And
out of it has come some great, great men, both white and black.
Tei j I 1 0 \AVO'(L education, if you did that in that day,
gosh, it'd just go places now. year we honored
Professor A. Quinn Jones, who was a principal when I was in
high school, and by the way, I'll /,,^i be sixty-five years
old the twenty-eighth of next month. So, I can see him now as
he spent time Dfi over, with the same philosophy that
I have nowj /ove of people, trying to advance people. And I see
all of it, one young fellow who has been the visiting professor
to one of the finest universities in the country Dr. Joseph
Dennis.of Atlanta, Georgia. I can see any of those times the
fine fellow who wrote for several newspapers, Atlanta, and Pittsburgh,
Rick Roberts. And oI-f t I' we've got a lot of
inspiration by people who didn't care about seeing people suffer,
but seeing people love. In the twenties, it wasn't so bad back
then, the twenties, it wasn't....and yet, it was better if you
want to look back at it, but I, I say some groundwork was laid
for a future in that particular stage. And I'd be glad to talk
on, but I, I definitely could talk on, I imagine sometime
people like to know about my records, but my records didn't
Al 40A 7
sj
start here in Gainesville as a coach until 1920, well, no, I
didn't get here until really after I got out of college. I got
here in 1933, and you might know that I won, went seven years
undefeated as a coach. I don't know how I felt then, but I learned
something then that I learned to pray early in those days,
I want to know whether I, when I offer that to people now who
are having problems, and then I went two years when I didn't
lose but two games in the two years, and then I went another five
years undefeated, then I went one year with one loss, then I
went another five years undefeated. Well, after I coached for
twenty-eight years, and I had 242 victories, I had twenty-two
ties, and thirteen losses, I thought it was sensible to quit it
while I was on top. But in that time, I had a chance to meet
your coach at GHS and found him to be a fine young man there,
he's still a fine young man there, and one of your black coaches
over here, I can remember him as a little boy, he was outstanding,
made me look great one year, and that was Big Bob
a fine gentleman now. I: like to talk about these people, v\AC-ler
-14 CA'rv blac ck ory- CA made contributionsto the community, and
cause the community to grow, and cause the community to begin to
love people and become concerned about people, you don't care
whether they're white or black, and that's the way I feel about
the community.
P: Can you tell me anything about when you were young,Awhat your
family life was like?
M: Yes. When I was young, my, we had a rather rough time, my mother
was a washwoman. But she was highly intelligent. Uh, and I ca
AL 40A 8
sj
M: intelligent, she was intelligent enough to become the maid
of Mr. Frank Clark, who was one time the senator. And after
Mr. Frank Clark died, she made her living off her washing and
ironing and doing special laundry for people like Dr. Murphree,
who was the president of the United, I mean of the University
of Florida. My father was o MrYpt ~? tr bc e, rael ,
And they did the best they could for me, I elect to tell you this)
that I was taught early to love people, this was the most unusual
thing. My mother taught me to try to be honest. One of the most
unusual things about this was that many times I'd eat tainted ham,
but my mother would take it blA it from Copeland's place up there
and bring it back and scrub it off with soda, and we 1Ed a whole
lot of the parts of the hog, such as'pig's feet, chitterlings,
and all of those type of things, but the one principle that I can
always remember my mother always said, "One day things are gonna
be better than this," and she kept cheering me on. And believe
it or not, in the early twenties, then--Y40 Y1 the late
twenties, you could come out of college, when ~-al them college)
and teach school in the summer, and I had, this is comical, I had
a job, seeAI taught4a every G2C i, i(AI d) from Mr. Simmons
right to Mrs. right through every 4Ur_____ 'kI
r .cs, r. But at this time, Mr. Simmons was LS ,'r I DZ11
tell you this. My mother, I had a job downtown, it was paying me
twelve dollars, and that was a lot. This was Mike's, Mike
had a hat shop, and he got sick one day. He had Mary, Alec, and
Frank,.and they were little boys I had been working there long
enough to know how to ring the cash register, maybe I was the
AL 40A
sj
M: first one of these black boysArun one of those places. I ran
the place, and when he got up, he was so craty about me that he
kept me thereAin the front. But my mother came one day, said,
"Darling, your momma got you a job." I said, "Where?"A/aid,
"Teaching. A teaching job) At what it paid me.' Twenty-five
dollars a month, I was teachingAat the little place near Archer.
I was the principal, had three teachers. They, cost me sixteen
dollars a month to stay out there, it cost me six dollars a month
to go out there to my job, and of it, I had three dollars to
live off of. Ae of the things about this, it got me started
in the field of education. It got me started because I learned to
love e(CV soC and appreciate my parents and what they told me to
do2 whether I liked to do it or not, I can remember my dad said
this when I finished high school. "Son, your dad don't believe
in a college education." But my mother did, and she was Sorn~i_
and I would see her bringing little balls of clothes sometimes
from the university, /ixteen wold bring
eight dollars, 'cause she got fifty dollars and some had eight shirts,
ten shirts in them, and family washes.)9 had had anywhere from
fifteen petticoats, fifteen sheets, she got a dollar and a quarter
in the starch and the soap. But you can see that they still
loved me enough to want to see me go through college and go to
the other places, and I can tell you this, I like to tell anybody
this, when you ever stop loving your parents, and really get love
in your heart for them, you go to colleges sometimes and you
pretend you're a big shot, you don't eat this and you don't eat
that, but I had a chance to cnme home one Christmas, and I
AL 40A Iu
sj
M: can tell you exactly what Christmas night, in 1929, when I got
home four o'clock in the morning, my mother wasn't looking for
me, and I walked up on the porch, you see, she didn't even much
look at the door, sdid, "Come in, son, you're mother's up ironing
at four o'clock in the morning-to send you some money so you
can spend for the holidays." That was the greatest inspiration
I ever had in my life. I went back to school and started to)
working for myself, running a little laundry, polishing the brass
on the doors, and the little football scholarshipAI had, instead
of borrowing it away, I put it to use. This has helped make me
the type of man I want to be.
P: Did religion play much of a part when you were young, then?
M: Yes, it did. I, I was very active, and believe it or not, this
is interesting, I'm glad you asked me that. I was very active
I can remember when I was about five years old, my mother was one
of the founders of MYou~ t CmOlel Baptist Church, the church
William Wright was pastor. My father was a steward in the __u_2_ -
icesOO.xit Methodist Church. But every Sunday, we had to go
to go to Sunday School, T had a brof0er And I asked my
mother did I have to go to Sunday School, she said, "Ask your
Dad." I asked my daddy did I have to, he said, "If you eat my
bread." So I came up in the Sunday School, and I did come out
of college, this too has played a very important part, I've been
very active in the Y.M.C.A. while I was in college, and this-
organization, I came back to Gainesville, and I've been working
in Gainesville ever since, I came back and I started as a Sunday
School teacher. I moved up from the Sunday School teacher to
AL 40A ii
sj
M: Sunday School superintendent, and from the Sunday School superintendent
you might as well know that now I am the assistant pastor
at Bzrkl Temple. Assistant Pastor at ~0ovl01 PrIac,.t and
I'm just tickled to death, I got a little country church out
where I preach and teach people to live so
that God can use them in making this a better world) Jo dc 5
Ogid +Cn'D-nj I, I know this is a foundation for changing
anybody's h ec4r C .
P: When you were young, do you, where did you get the food for your
family and things like that, for your family? do you remember
one of the ?
M: Well, as I told you once before, my mother did a lot for us for
food, from the washing and things, she'd get somebody to take them
in a truck and go up to Copeland's, and they used to sell hams)
some of them tainted, you see, but she could wash them, and get
them straight, and then you could buy pigsfeet and that type of
stuff pretty reasonable, and then we grew gardens in the back
yard, such as greens and cabbage and vfn had pear trees and fig
trees, pecan trees, and they were aggressive that time, they were
looking out for people, we didn't have too much money. Now, to
stop us from stealing or anything like that at that time, my father
had a philosophy /ever go to bed hungry. And4he would do, if
we'd come home and say you were hungry, if we didn't have something
they'd stir up what)you don't know this, what they call mush.
v^ hO elP
That was meal and water, and then we had syrup overAwith that, so
we, we felt more then, we didn't have all these fancy foods, or
this. I don't want nobody to believe that
AL 40A 12
sj
M; we did. But we did have enough to eat.
P: Do you remember/ about that time1 some of the other, anything else
or any f 4Fe
outstanding about maybe, any of the other motelsArd1 buildings?
M: Any of the buildings that were around Gainesville at that time?
Yes, most every building has been torn upwifth any size in
Gainesville. IAvery well remember. Long at this time, this is
about the time when the Presbyterian Church moved to it's present
spot. Shortly after this time, as I told you, it used to be
where the Florida National Bank is now. And right across the
street, where you see the RirateS,. this was another bank over
0 A'5 -, ePeh nc
there called Duffy's Bank.A express office was back where Pni
is now, where the junior welfare is. On the corner, right in
front of the juniorr Welfare, where the juniorr Yfelfare was, plus
in front of the bank, was the Elk's that was the
big thing in Gainesville, the Elks, they call it the Elk's, or
the Elk Lodge Down further, or I
might tell you some of the other things that were in
I had a chance to go to some of these They used
to call, at that time, the 1, which brought in various
entertainers once a year. And where you, right now, where the
traffic VsA used to be, well, rla'hT n9ea ~7 A there.
was where, was nothing but a big place and there's a branch, and
they put up a big tent there and they brought in these different
plays and different things went on there, that was a part of the
culture at that time, and
I mean, you can picture that, it must have been something, -4t Y( )e
waiting for that to come once a year. The present Citizens'
AL 40A 13
sj
Field use to be what was known as the fair grounds. Along in that
time they used to call that the Alachua County Fair Grounds.
By the way, we first got to play on what you call Harris Field.
This is where we first got to playircng O'( football for Lincoln
out there. See, there was a good relationship, because I would
borrow the benches from Coach Josh from University of
Florida at that time in the morning when Coach Boyer had a job
take the benches, get a truck
Ca IllJ in the morning, set them up out on Harris Field for
football, put up the goalpost there, in the afternoon, when the
game's over, take the goalpost back,Art take the goalpost down,
take the seats back to Harris Field, and then get steady to sponsor
the social for the V7iiV team). So, it was a g~b one
of the bPile~ifs VfsgygPs We didn't have a whole lot of, whole
io o ; yoA q i
lot of O(JS6 5 4 .~~ .tae some of the old hou5e8, O
KF wouldn't know about them because they'd been torn down. But
there were many over back by the First Methodist Church where
there was a park that everybody loved -l0 0,
this is a real park for downtown park, this is one time the
leading park,Anot too far fromA about a block away was the Cannons
lived there They would have been a type of people, the
lived right on the corner just off of this, the park. I can
remember a whole lot of these people at that time.
P: Could you tell me about what it was like, what sort of remedies
used, and some of the ,, family 'C)icSN6 ?
M: At that time, you had very little help. I can remember when we
AL 40A 14
sj
M: first started off with the Alachua County Hospital. It was
a very small building, but as time, time grew, it got a little
bigger, -4i it's been growing, and this last thing is really
a giant step.,, -, But that was the only thing, is the
size, that the university, that the university students got sick
just right on back of where the gymnasium was, what they call
the Infirmiry, and that's where they take the students, to the
Infirmiry. And if you had some money, you could go to Alachua
General Hospital 0i li 4 f-ie
P: Do you remember your mother using any home remedies of any type
?
M: Oh, yes. The cold, it got what they call out of the woods,
sassafras. They made a tea known as sassafras, and they used a
whole lot of herbs and things that grew out in the woods there.
Teas for cold. That was one of the main things that was, you
had cold, and you had trouble with your nose running, they had
hot towel put it under your nose,
breathe in some of it, they used some herbs and things that

don't recall all the names, but I....

P: Could you tell me whether you really liked living in the twenties
or would you rather live now?
M: I'd rather live now. The twenties was a limited opportunity.
The chance to use the abilities that you had was so far different
than it is today. I used to take a little ability and believe
it or not, I one time was rated as one of the third outstanding
recreati-onists ': in the United States black. But I somehow, I
have had a l-ove'for people like whom we
worked together while we were young. But even Mr. Howard Bishop,
he brought me back and they were interested after I got out of
college, after I got a master's degree, that I would come back to
Gainesville and work, and I tell you this, it was interesting
that one time, I had a love of physical education even back in
the black days, days, for GHS. They came to Lincoln
because they didn't have anybody qualified, and I had a master's
from Columbia and I can remember, I don't guess I'll give these
boys away, -at -you stt have to come over there if you were
gonna graduate, and go in the physical education/ 1:=s*4-o put
the M O" on the physical ed. So, yes, I'd rather live in this
day, if I had to live it. And I think if I'd lived just about
five more years longer, I would like to live it "d VnMb- I 'd S

P: How long, did you notice, have you noticed that prejudice is going
away, and things like that? Do you remember, you know,4definite
points when they stopped?
M: Yes. I n i in
M: Yes. I W^ I yhe one of the sad situation, prejudice has
AL 40A 16
sj
M: come from a long ways back in that not knowing, I saw some things
in the, the last few years make me know that people just know
now some of the things that said about black people at that time
was true, they hadn't had the experience. But given the chance,
'ie e t ,,
and yet I know we say some of the things thatAwe-se now, but we
see it on both sides. But given a chance, and taking advantage
of the chance, and having sense enough to try to get along with
people, I see so much opportunity, and say this,
the east side with brother the other day, I
say the black kids, I say to them, "Now, this is your greatest
opportunity, 'cause here you're going to school side by side
if you got the attitude, the right attitude, that your fellow
brothers, even though they don't like you as of now, but if you
keep growing smarter, and you keep on doing the things that's
right, iE '1 -ln if love and then a little later on, you'll
end up maybe in business together." I've seen this happen in
Gainesville, the first lawyer, George Allen, who went to University
of Florida, and who was admitted, and then he finished. Instead
of him having to stay a-round and worry about a job, his partners
took him together and down to Miami, and he became one
of the outstanding lawyers. I looked on television, and I studied
the situation of athletics in California, and I see after you
begin to know each other, and if you have the right attitude, the
right action, the right attitude, not so much as to live in a i.
house with one another, but gu begin to love and understand
one another, and there's nothing sometimes people won't do for
you. I, I'm pretty old now, but if I told you some of the homes
AL 40A 17
sj
M: that I get invited to dinners, and I mean the people who I knew
once you couldn't fy much look that way, but after they found
out that you're human, that you're trying to be intelligent,
that you're trying to make a contribution to society, you have
the right attitude, and you had to have that right attitude to
come where you are, then they accept you. And the only thing
ifrrv
that I'm saying here now,i\not being Uncle Tom-ish, I'm not trying
to score anything in it, but I would like to see both groups
not so much come to stay in your house, but learning to know
each other because job opportunity, and other opportunity will
open up and then you'll remember that he's a smart boy,,Jyou want
him to work. If he's an intelligent boy, but if he's a fellow
always cause trouble, or ignorant,The doesn't want to keep himself
clean, you don't want him around, you don't want him, I don't
care what color he is. So therefore, I have a key....loving
one another but while loving one another, put in the best practices
as possible. a smile, and remember hate begets
hate, and in the long run, love will pay off, a love begets love,
and you can't lose 'cause you've got more to gain than we ever
had in my time, and I'm the one to talk. A ,
P: Was one of the main reasons, do you think
is just lack of understanding due to the....
M: Oh, yes, yes. Oh, yes. It's a bit of history when revealed. It
has been ignorance on both sides. Ignorance on one side for not
being exposed. Ignorance on another side for being taught that
everybody was inferior to them. And that all other people were
ignorant. But, this is not being proven with the modern type
