In my conversation with Rodney Ferguson, we talk about growing up in downtown Lynchburg in the 1950s and 60s, the closing of the pools in the Summer of 1961 and swimming in the first integrated pool at Camp Kum-Ba-Yah, the integration of Lynchburg City Schools, and what it's really like to own and operate a cemetery.
