Note
"In 2015, Doris Harper Allen first recorded her memories in a self-published book entitled The Way It Was Not the Way It Is. She then produced a second manuscript with the working title, Jim Crow in the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s: What Was Life Really Like Living Under Jim Crow Laws in Harrisonburg Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley?, publishing a preliminary version in the months before she had a stroke in 2019. The text presented here is a synthesis of these two works, along with some of her other writings, restructured into a chronological and thematic order..." -- from Note on Text, page xi
