Title	Oral history interview with Frank Moorman, Sr.
Interviewee	Moorman, Frank L., Sr.
Contributors	Chumbley, Kenneth Lawrence (interviewer)
Description	Oral history interview with Frank Moorman, Sr., conducted on August 17, 1978 by Kenneth Chumbley. Mr. Moorman was a businessman in Louisville's Walnut Street area. Mr. Moorman discusses his parents and grandparents, and his early life in Owensboro, Kentucky. He describes his early career there, working for Mr. White, a black pharmacist, both in Owensboro, and then - starting in 1926 - in Louisville. Moorman talks about his move to Louisville, and his move into his own business, first in partnership with J.C. McDonald, and later on his own. Mr. Moorman owned two service stations, one at the corner of 6th and Walnut, and the second at 8th and Walnut. The station at 8th and Walnut was a Standard Oil franchise, and Mr. Moorman discusses his relationship with that company. He also talks about his experiences with Urban Renewal and the civil rights movement, which he supported in principle but which he was not actively involved with. He describes his own personal philosophy of race relations, and his pride at his achievements in business.
