Expand/collapse C.10. Notable North Carolinians: Wildacres Leadership Initiative Project

Interviews were conducted between 1998 and 2000 as part of the Friday Fellows Leadership Interview Project by the Wildacres Leadership Initiative. This project was part of the William C. Friday Fellowship for Human Relations. The Friday Fellows describe the Leadership Interview Project as "...a program devoted to creating a new generation of leaders for North Carolina." By interviewing active leaders of North Carolina, they hope to spread the advice and wisdom these people have to offer. In addition, certain interviewees were encouraged to nominate "committed North Carolinians ... [for] a two year period of education and reflection on the challenges facing our North Carolina."

Ethelene McCabe Allen (b. 1934) grew up in a tenant farming family in Johnston County, N.C., and Wayne County, N.C. Although she was an excellent student, she left school at age 16 to marry a small proprietary farmer and helped him farm the family land. At age 22, she began working as a sewing machine operator at the Jerold Manufacturing Co. in Smithfield, N.C., while continuing to help her husband on the family farm. Her husband became a pipe fitter and welder on construction projects, while continuing to farm part-time. After receiving her G.E.D. by exam and completing an associate's degree in college transfer classes at Johnston Community College, Allen worked as a technician at Fieldcrest Cannon in Smithfield, N.C., and at Raychem and Tyco Corp. in Fuquay-Varina, N.C. She had four children and was active in the Burnell Baptist Church as a Sunday school teacher and Girls Auxiliary leader. She volunteered with the North Carolina Bluebird Society to educate and encourage North Carolinians to help save the eastern bluebird by building bluebird houses and establishing and monitoring bluebird trails.

These interviews, conducted by her daughter Barbara C. Allen, survey her family life; social relationships; educational experiences; perspective as a woman in rural southern life and southern Baptist religious experience; her travels across the United States, Canada, and Ireland; her views on the environment, child rearing, gender roles, race, population growth and changing demographics; and her experiences as a laborer in her local area's evolving farming and manufacturing economies. Also included is one interview with Minnie Allen Lee, the interviewer's paternal aunt.
