Mary Garber went to work as a society editor at North Carolina’s Winston-Salem Journal in 1940 – transferred to sports in 1946 and never looked back. Her pioneering life-long career as a sports reporter is chronicled in this oral history for the Washington Press Club Foundation’s "Women in Journalism" project. She recalls her love of sports reporting as well as the discrimination she faced as a woman – and she details her determination to cover black high school athletes in the segregated South.
