Show moreDuring this interview, Rosetta McKinley Henderson details her early life in Fairhope, Alabama. She provides several childhood anecdotes, such as her parents' meeting, her brother, her pet turtle, her father being treated in a segregated hospital after a car accident, family garden, and going to church. She describes elementary school at Anna T Jean School and then details college at Alabama State in Montgomery. She discusses changing her major from biology, her job at the library, and her joining the debate team and debating against Barbara Jordan. She mentions teaching Sunday school and pledging at the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. She then describes participating in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, attending meetings and hearing Martin Luther King, Jr., speak.

Henderson then discusses earning her Master's degree at Fiske University in Nashville, Tennessee, where she studied under Dr. Samuel Massie. She describes an incident of eating at a segregated restaurant while with her boyfriend and a professor. She then moves on to discussing her pre-doctoral research experience at Oregon State University, for which she had received a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Henderson goes on to describe her time at Ohio University pursuing a PhD and an incident in which a professor accused her of cheating when she needed to turn a desk around as she was left-handed. She describes her decision to leave the program and her job search, which was aided by a supportive professor. She mentions a job opportunity disappearing upon the recruiter learning her race and the offers she received from Corningware, Eastman Kodak, Midland, and finally DuPont.

Henderson then mentions moving to Wilmington, her research at DuPont, and an incident when a lawyer used a racial slur in a meeting. She goes into detail about the difficulty she faced finding an apartment in a segregated Wilmington and the assistance she received from colleagues. She then discusses meeting her husband, James L. Henderson, and his career as an architect in Washington, D.C. She describes having two children and the accommodations her supervisor made when she returned to the workplace. She finally discusses her time with DuPont Merck, managing the Upward Bound program at Delaware Tech and teaching a laboratory class at Neumann University.

Moving on from discussing her career, Henderson describes being active in her church, St. Joseph Catholic Church, the oldest African American Catholic church in Wilmington. She then discusses her siblings, including her sister Edith Rasberry, who Henderson recalls being the only African-American bail bondswoman in the state of Michigan and who was married to Ted Rasberry, the owner of the baseball team the Grand Rapids Black Sox. She also describes her brother Harry, who was a pilot and engineer; her brothers Roy and Brady, who owned a large demolition company; her sister Eddie Alberia, who was a surgeon; and her brother Leonard, who was a butcher.

The interviewer, Dr. Jeanne D. Nutter, then asks Henderson to revisit a few items, including her job as a teenager cleaning house for a White woman, her father's car accident, Dr. Samuel Massie, her patents, and taking a course in heterocyclic compounds at the University of Houston.
