from Black Oral HIstories of Beaufort County

Ethel Bryant was born in Washington, North Carolina, on October 21, 1934, to Joseph Henry and Ethel Bryant. Her father was the offspring of a slave owner in Windsor, North Carolina, and was enslaved as a child. Bryant was a member of the first graduating class from P.S. Jones High School in 1952. Her experiences with racism were different than others because of her lighter complexion. As a lover of music, Bryant became an accomplished singer, organist, and pianist, going on to lead numerous choirs and conduct workshops in North Carolina and the Bahamas. Bryant credits the day she accepted Jesus Christ into her life with changing her trajectory, leading to many years of service caring for and helping those in need.
