Good morning, Josselyn. My name is Arthur Moody and I am 75 years young. And I was born in Hattiesburg, Mississippi with my mother and father. And in Mississippi it was quite different. There, as you know, it was segregated. The black and white and going, black kids went to one school, white kids went to-to another school. And as I began to go to school, I began to notice that things were different for-for me. The first thing that I noticed that I had trouble learning my alphabets. That was a challenge. Of course, at that time, I didn't understand why even tying my shoes, I had a little trouble tying my shoes. And my father could not read or write because at that time he was not allowed to go to school. And my mother had a limited amount of education and there was no books in my house and stuff to promote me to read or anything like that.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296#t=33.0,104.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296/transcript/62293/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Arthur Moody: And as I would go to school trying to read, it was difficult for me. It was problem, especially when I tried to read out loud. I tried to find every excuse not to read because of the dyslexia that I had. At that time I didn't know anything about it. They would just call you stupid or dumb, you know, and that really hurt to make you feel bad. And it, it's left a low self-esteem about myself. And also, I had a speech impediment where I would stutter. I could not get my word out clearly. So these are things I just had to work with the best I could. Then as time began to go on, my parents wanted to leave Mississippi, and they came to-to New York for a better opportunity. Now in-in, now in Mississippi, my-my father worked at a factory, you know, low paying job. My mother was a maid you know working with a family, so incomes were not that great, but we were lucky to have our own home. But like I said, my parents decided to move to New York, and they moved to Queens, New York, Queens in Ozone Park.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296#t=104.0,189.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296/transcript/62293/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Josselyn Atahualpa: About what year?","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296#t=189.0,192.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296/transcript/62293/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Arthur Moody: That had to be in the 60s.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296#t=192.0,195.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296/transcript/62293/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Josselyn Atahualpa: 60s.

I never seen that before in Mississippi. And also in-in-in New York here you had snow. I never seen snow in Mississippi cuz there was a warm climate. And again, going to school here was different. I went to John Adams High School, and one of the first things that I noticed-- now growing up in Mississippi, my name was AW Moody, and that's what everyone called me: AW. And once I began to go to school at John Adams, they asked me, what is your name? I told them AW. They said, no, that's not your-your-your name. What is your name? I said, my name is AW. Even on my birth certificate it said AW, I was named after my father and my grandfather.

The reading, the writing, trying to spell words and-and memorizing words, because sometimes I would see a word, let's say like a word, impossible. I see it one-one day, two or three days go by that same word, I don't recognize it. So I had to repeat a lot of things, and it was hard to pass from one grade to another grade because of my dyslexia. I have a learning disability. And at that time, I had no clue about a learning disability. And I was doing, I think I stayed in John Adam High School about two or three years until I got just frustrated with trying to learn. I would do good in certain shops, like the gym, you know, doing physical activities. That was okay. I remember they had a woodworking shop working with my hands. It was okay, but trying to read a book or trying to do something that was very difficult for me.

My first real knowledge of dyslexia that I can remember is a year after I dropped out of high school, a friend of mine told me about the Long Island Rail Road, that they were hiring. So of course I went there. The lady name was Ms. Caper, nice lady. And I went to the desk, went to-to the window, asked for an application for the Long Island Rail Road, and they asked me to sit down and fill out their application. Well, you know, I came up with a story. I told 'em, I don't have my glasses, can I take it home? Because I was not able to read the application clearly, you know, clearly to fill it out. So luckily the lady let me take the application home, fill out the application, brought it back. Luckily, within a week or so, I got a job at the Long Island Rail Road. That was my first memory that really hit me about dyslexia; filling out application, writing things down, spelling words. And this is something that is still, I still have a challenge with it, but it's not as bad. At least I'm working with it now. I'm doing something about it. Because if you don't do anything, you cannot expect anything. And I'm working hard to help myself.

So I remember I had a friend saying, Arthur, don't worry about it you just have to study the books. I will help you. Because certain days we had to go to school, and certain days you work out in the field on the trains itself, learning different components, different jobs.

So now that's what I'm doing is, oh, also after I was at the Long Island Rail Road for x amount of time after I got the car inspecting job, I was walking. I didn't have a car, so I said, let me go down to the motor vehicles and take the test. Here we go again. I had to go and get the driving manual, bring it home and study, study and study and study. And so I studied the best I could. So it was time for a written test. I was sweating bullets. I was nervous. And I failed. I failed the written test.

And that's the same thing with dyslexia. You need to have a desire to learn. So I would go by Baisley Park and they would be playing chess. And there's different things. You have to learn to play chess, you have to know how to set up the chessboard, the white square always go to your right, and you have to learn the different pieces: the pawn, the rook, you know, the bishop. You have to learn the different pieces and the different strategies that you had to learn. And that was something important to me to learn how to play chess.

I lived in an apartment in Hollis for about two or three years. Save up my money. Save up my money. Then I bought a house in St. Albans. That's not far away, and by living in St. Albans, they had a big building about two blocks from me. It was the PAL Athletic League. And at that time, they had the senior citizen programs in there, and one of the programs that they had was chess. And I volunteered to teach the senior citizens how to play chess. Now, here is, I had a hard time playing chess, and now I'm helping someone else to play chess. The senior citizens. And they thought it was so complicated. It's so hard.

It's been a big lifesaver.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296#t=2883.0,2936.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296/transcript/62293/annotation/240","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Josselyn Atahualpa: It is for a lot of people, yeah.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296#t=2936.0,2937.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296/transcript/62293/annotation/241","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Arthur Moody: Ms. Josselyn, you've been a big help, and thank you so much for all the support and all the help you have given me.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296#t=2937.0,2945.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296/transcript/62293/annotation/242","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Josselyn Atahualpa: Yeah. Maybe one thing that I'll add before the end of the interview is that you also recently participated in a video. So-- the city budget is coming up and it's 2023 and Mayor [Eric] Adams is proposing a bunch of budget cuts across the board. And Mr. Moody participated in the video advocating for library not to cut funding. And so that was also really another test for you, another way of sharing your story and empowering yourself, but also, like, fighting and advocating for the library, a space that has given you so much.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296#t=2945.0,2977.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296/transcript/62293/annotation/243","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Arthur Moody: I believe in it.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296#t=2977.0,2978.0"},{"id":"https://queenslibrary.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1432/collection_resources/115529/file/219296/transcript/62293/annotation/244","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Josselyn Atahualpa: Yeah, that your essay, I feel like I always, we joke about this, right?
