Vivian Hungerford discusses the strong impact that her family made in their community. Her mother, Louise Lillian (maiden name, Edmondson) was a stay-at-home mom and the disciplinarian. Her father Bert Tarboro was well known for his involvement in sports. He started a Black baseball team called the Giant Baseball league and later integrated it. Baseball greats Jackie Robinson and Dan Newcome were guests at a banquet that was organized by Mr. Tarboro. Her father also worked for Bethlehem Steel as a laborer for forty-four years.
