Birth Date September 10, 1908 Birthplace Wonder, Nevada Death Date August 23, 1991 Occupation Director of the U.S. Mint (1961-1969) Biographical Text Eva B. Adams, a native Nevadan, brought great pride to her home state through her active and fruitful public careers. Adams’ devotion to education is evident in the five degrees she earned from prestigious universities in Nevada and Washington, D.C. Along with her career in education, Adams worked in administrative positions for three senators and was appointed Director of the U.S. Mint by presidents Kennedy and Johnson. Adams was born in Wonder, Nevada in 1908. After high school she earned her first degree from the University of Nevada, Reno. In 1928, at the age of nineteen, she moved to southern Nevada to teach at Las Vegas High School. Adams’ experience there urged her to continue her education. She next attended Columbia University where she earned her first Master’s Degree. Adams returned to Las Vegas to serve as the Assistant Dean of Women at her first Alma Mater, the University of Nevada, Reno. In 1940, Adams’ career shifted when she accepted a position with Senator Pat McCarran as his Administrative Assistant and moved to Washington, D.C. While there, she earned her law degree from Washington College of Law and her second Master’s at George Washington University. She later served as Administrative Assistant to Senators Ernest Brown and Alan Bible. Adams’ hard work and dedication in Capital Hill earned her an appointment by President John F. Kennedy as Director of the U.S. Mint in 1961. She is the second woman in history to receive this honor. She received a reappointment in 1966 from President Lyndon B. Johnson due to her extraordinary achievements at the U.S. Mint. Adams retired from the government in 1969 and went on to serve as a consultant to the Chairman of the Board for the Mutual of Omaha insurance company. Although she retired, Adams remained active in the affairs of Washington, D.C. through her participation with the U.S. Senate Association of Administrative Assistants and Executive Secretaries. She was also a member of the President’s Commission on White House Fellows. Adams received numerous awards and honors for her outstanding achievements both in government and within the community service sector. These awards have come from the U.S. Treasury Department, educational institutions, and private organizations. Eva B. Adams died in Reno, Nevada, on August 23, 1991.

Work/Contribution West Las Vegas Civic Activist Birth Date March 15, 1948 Birthplace Las Vegas, NV Arrival in Las Vegas 1948 Biographical Text Jackie Brantley, born in Las Vegas following World War II, grew up in the Westside at a time when the predominately black area of the city was at its peak. Her family moved to Las Vegas for better opportunities and Brantley has spent her entire life in Las Vegas. She attended the Westside Elementary School and graduated from Rancho High School. Following her graduation, she began working as a maid, but quit after six months to marry. She then worked for the Clark County School District as a secretary until she gave birth to her son in 1974. Brantley soon took a job at the Desert Inn in publicity. She worked with many of the entertainers that performed at the resort. She also formed a friendship with Alex Haley during this time. In 1978, Brantley left the Desert Inn to take care of her son and aging mother. Brantley returned to the Westside and worked with the Nucleus Associates who were building a shopping center in the area. She also did some modeling work. Later, she went to work for the Department of Motor Vehicles. Brantley’s narrative contains a description of her varied work history, from housekeeping to mid-management public relations. Recognizing value in all types of labor, she believes her first job as a maid instilled a sense of pride in maintaining a clean home. Jackie Brantley still believes that her beloved Westside continues to be the “heart of the city.” Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Claytee D.

Work/Contribution Dancer and businesswoman Birth Date August 26, 1926 Birthplace Savannah, Georgia Arrival in Las Vegas 1955 Biographical Text Anna Bailey moved to Brooklyn with her mother as a child, and began dance lessons at ten years old. At thirteen, she danced at the Apollo. By fifteen, she was a professional dancer. Her mother insisted she continue her education, so attended high school while dancing in large productions in New York. She travelled extensively as a dancer, going on tour to Europe and Los Angeles. In 1951, she married fellow performer Bob Bailey, a singer and emcee. The couple lived in Anna mother’s basement. In 1955, the Baileys moved to Las Vegas, to open the Moulin Rouge Hotel and Casino. Just six months later, the Rouge closed, leaving both Anna and her husband, Bob, without work. The couple continued to work in show business, with Anna dancing on the Strip and on tour, and Bob hosting talk shows. Following the birth of her two children, Anna gave up dancing. The Baileys opened and operated several small nightclubs. This interview covers Anna’s experience as a dancer extensively, with her earliest performances through her retirement. She also describes race relations in Las Vegas, and the development of the Westside. Interviewer The person(s) performing the interview Claytee D.
