Black and Born in Bangor

This is an oral history of Nancy Dymond. In 1997, Dymond became the first Maine-born African American person to earn a bachelor’s degree in Education from UMaine to then go on and teach in Maine. This audio-visual recording was originally a public program offered by the Eastern Maine Community College in February 2021 as part of Black History Month. The program was presented via Zoom. William Cook, a history teacher and manager of the EMCC library, implemented the program.https://digitalcommons.usm.maine.edu/aaphotos/1005/thumbnail.jp
