Mr. Moore was the first Black elected official in Jefferson county (County Commissioner, 1986) and was involved in various aspects of pressuring the city for Black civil rights. He shared what he remembered about the 1943 race riot in Beaumont, mentioned class divisions within the segregated Black communities in Beaumont, discussed the significance of unions for workplace advancement, was critical to Black representation on schools boards/in PTAs, and helped form the South Park Voters League to initially influence school board elections and, later, Black voter enfranchisement.

Walker discussed the experience of integrating Texas and Louisiana universities and working as a Black supervisor during the late-1970s. He was also raised Catholic and gave some interesting details about colorism and privileges of Catholicism for some Black people.

Mrs. Prados is the first Black female car salesperson, a long-time NAACP member, and was raised in segregated Beaumont. Her job and later business ventures exposed her to many facets of discrimination in the city, and she shared a lot about being ignored on boards like the Chamber of Commerce or in Black, male-dominated spaces. She also discussed dealing with a racially "transitioning" business as well as difficulties she continues to experience with the city when attempting to pass inspection and reopen her beauty salon.
