Gibbs Magazine
An Interview with Mrs. Rev. Joan H. Gray, Mother
of Gary Norris Gray
1.16.06
During the holidays, Gibbs Magazine caught up with the mother of one of Gibbs' most prolific writers. Mrs. Joan H. Gray--mother of Gary Norris Gray of the Gray Line--is a gentle and eloquent woman who has the poise and beauty of one who would have raised and fought for the rights of a son with the temperament, intelligence, and optimism of Gary Gray. Gibbs Magazine is honored to have Gary as a columnist.
We sat down at Oakland's Convention Center last week to record this interview. To read more about her before listening to the interview, read Gary's Salute to Rosa Parks and his mother.
This interview was recorded in a noisy space--the Oakland Convention Center, Oakland, CA--so please bear with the noise; I wanted you to hear the actual voice of Mrs. Joan H. Gray ( a Pastor in Bensalem AME Church) as she spoke patiently, deliberately, and lovingly about her son, whom she has raised brilliantly.
