Charlottesville native John J Gaines III joins Coy Barefoot on WINA’s “Charlottesville–Right Now!” to talk about growing up as an African-American in a Southern city. For instance, his mother couldn’t give birth to him at Martha Jefferson Hospital in 1937. Gaines grew up in the 10th and Page neighborhood, which has changed drastically in his seventy-year life. He spent forty years working as a teacher and an administrator in the Charlottesville City school system. Gaines also weighs in on the recent rash of late night beatings in downtown Charlottesville.
