00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 2: Don't be shy? How many pieces of the lumber?

9
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:40,519

Speaker 1: hundred thousand, right, So it's a big shop, isn't it.

Speaker 1: George rang our bell everybody. George is Alex's youngest child

Speaker 1: and Ocla McCarty and her generosity teaches us a story.

00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: Right after these brief messages from our general sponsors, Welcome back, everybody.

20
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm here with George and we're to talk.

21
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:47,559
Speaker 2: The other siblings are gonna feel real left out right now.

22
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: They're sitting in the room and you have not even

23
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 2: acknowledged their presence.

24
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: George is the official bell ringer. But the truth is

25
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: in the shop today. We have all of Alex's children.

26
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: We've been introduced to George.

27
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: Way too many of them.

28
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, way too many of them. We've we've been introduced

29
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: to George. Introduce yourselves, ladies. So there you have it.

30
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: All four kids are in the shop today and we're

31
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: going to talk about o Cla McCarty, a story I

32
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: promise you you've probably never heard. And we got the

33
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: story from the Philanthropy Roundtable. O Cla McCarty was born

34
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: in the world in nineteen o eight, and it was

35
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: a raw start. She was conceived when her mother was

36
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: raped on a wooden path in rural Mississippi as she

37
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: returned from tending to a sick relative. Oceola was raised

38
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, by her grandmother and aunt, who cleaned houses,

39
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: cooked and took in laundry. As a child, she would

40
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: come home from elementary school and iron clothes, stashing the

41
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: money she earned in her doll buggy the three women

42
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: relied completely on each other, and when the aunt returned

43
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: from a hospitalization, I'm able to work. Ocella dropped out

44
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: of sixth grade to care for and take up her

45
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,800
Speaker 1: work as a washerwoman. She never returned to school. Work

46
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: became the great good of her life, explained one person

47
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: a knew her. She found beauty in its movement and

48
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 1: pride in its provisions. She was happy to have it

49
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: and gave herself over to it with abandon. McCarty put

50
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: it this way. I knew there were people who didn't

51
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: have to work as hard as I did, but it

52
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: didn't make me feel sad. I loved to work, and

53
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: when you love to do anything, those things don't bother you.

54
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: Sometimes I work straight through two or three days. I

55
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: had goals I was working toward that motivated me, and

56
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 1: I was able to push hard. Work is a blessing

57
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: as long as I'm living, I want to be working

58
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: at something. Just because I'm old doesn't mean I can't work,

59
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 1: and hers was not a standard issue job. McCarty scrubbed

60
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: her laundry be hand on a rub board. She did

61
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: try an automatic washer and dryer in the sixties, but

62
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: found that the washing machine didn't rinse enough, and the

63
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: dryer turned the whites yellow. After years of boiling clothes

64
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,039
Speaker 1: and then doing four fresh water rinses that wasn't good

65
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: enough to meet her high standards. The machine was almost

66
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: immediately retired, and she went back to her made right

67
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: scrubbard water drawn from a nearby fire hydrant and one

68
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 1: hundred feet of open air clotheslines. Asked to describe her

69
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: typical day, she answered, I would go outside and start

70
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: a fire under my washpot. Then I would soak, wash

71
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: and boil a bundle of clothes. Then I would rub them,

72
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: wrench them, rub them again, starch them, and hang them

73
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: on the line. After I had all the clean clothes

74
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: on the line, I would start on the next batch.

75
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: I would wash all day, and in the evening i'd

76
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: iron until eleven. I love the work, the bright fire wrenching,

77
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 1: the wet clean cloth, white shirts shining on the line.

78
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: This extraordinary worth ethic pursued straight through to her retirement

79
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: at eighty six, apparently produced results her customers appreciated. In

80
00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, Hattisburg businessman Paul Laughlan wrote, I know

81
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: one person who still has several shirts that were last

82
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,360
Speaker 1: cleaned almost two years ago by miss McCarthy. He said

83
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: that he does not intend to wear them. He just

84
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: takes them out periodically to look at them and to

85
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: enjoy the crisp fabric and scent. McCarty concludes Laughlin was

86
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: a walking object lesson that all work can be performed

87
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:01,920
Speaker 1: with dignity and infused with quality. Hard work gives your

88
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: life meeting state of McCarty. Everyone needs to work hard

89
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: at something to feel good about themselves. Every job can

90
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 1: be done well and every day has its satisfactions. If

91
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: you want to feel proud of yourself, you've got to

92
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: do things you can be proud of. Shortly after she retired,

93
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: McCarty did something that made many Americans very proud of her.

94
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: She had begun to save almost as soon as she

95
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,559
Speaker 1: started working at the age of eight. As the money

96
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: pulled up in her doll buggy, the very young girl

97
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,359
Speaker 1: took action. I went to the bank and deposited. Didn't

98
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: know how to do it, went there by myself, didn't

99
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: tell my mom and them I was going. I commenced

100
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: to save money. I never would take any of it out.

101
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: I just put it in. It's not the ones that

102
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: make the big money, but the ones who know how

103
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: to save, who get ahead. You got to leave it

104
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 1: alone long enough for it to increase. Of course, that

105
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 1: requires self control and modest appetites. It was contentment. I

106
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: was happy with what I had, said McCarty. These sturdy

107
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: habits ran together. Excuse me, These sturdy habits ran together

108
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: to produce McCarty's final secret. When she retired nineteen ninety five,

109
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: her hands painfully swollen with ourthritis, this washerwoman, who had

110
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: been paid in little piles of coins and dollar bills

111
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: her entire life, who dropped out of school in sixth grade,

112
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:35,119
Speaker 1: had two hundred and eighty thousand dollars in the bank.

113
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: Even more startling, she decided to give most of it away,

114
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: not as a bequest, but immediately, setting aside just enough

115
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: to live on. MacCarty donated one hundred and fifty thousand

116
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 1: dollars to the University of Southern Mississippi to fund scholarships

117
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: for worthy but needy students seeking the education she never had.

118
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: When they found out what she'd done, over six hundred

119
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: men and women in Hattiesburg and beyond made donations that

120
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: more than tripled her original endowment. Today, the University presents

121
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: several food full tuition McCarty's scholarships every year. Like a

122
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:18,119
Speaker 1: lot of philanthropists, McCarty wanted the satisfaction of giving while living,

123
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: and she succeeded. The first beneficiary of her gift, a

124
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: Hattiesburg girl named Stephanie Bullock, whereas president of her senior

125
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: class and had supportive parents, but also a twin brother

126
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 1: and not enough family income to send them both to college.

127
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: With her McCarty's scholarship, Bullok enrolled at Southern Miss and

128
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 1: properly adopted McCarty as a surrogate grandmother. Like a lot

129
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: of philanthropists, McCarty felt a power impulsion to act in

130
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: her home region. When asked why she picked Southern Miss,

131
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: she replied, because it's here, the campus that she had

132
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: never visited, not once in her life. Step foot On

133
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: was located only a couple from her home. Prior to

134
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: making her gift, Ocela's one long trip had been to

135
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: Niagara Falls. Here's her recollection law. The sound of the

136
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: water was like the sound of the world coming to

137
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 1: an end. In the evening, we spread blankets on the

138
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: ground and eight picnic dinners. I met people from all

139
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: over the world. On the return trip, we stopped in Chicago.

140
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,559
Speaker 1: I liked it, but I was ready to get back home.

141
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,599
Speaker 1: I missed the place where I belong, where I was

142
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: needed and making a contribution. No place compares to the

143
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: peace of earth, where you've put down your roots. Like

144
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 1: a lot of faithful philanthus O'silla, McCarthy was forgiving. Reminded

145
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: that the university she was giving her money to had

146
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: been white only until nineteen sixties, she answered, they used

147
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: to not let color people go there, but now they do,

148
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: and I think they should have it Like a lot

149
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: of philanthropus ocell McCarthy had a strong and virtuous character

150
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 1: and good health habits. She lived fruity, walking almost everywhere,

151
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:07,679
Speaker 1: including more than a mile to get her groceries. When

152
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: she stayed in a hotel for the first time after

153
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: coming to public attention, she made the bed before check

154
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,599
Speaker 1: it out. In addition to the dignity of work, McCarthy's

155
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: satisfactions were the timeless ones, faith in God, family closeness,

156
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: and love of locale. One friend described macarthy's face as

157
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: simple as the sermon on the mount, and it's difficult

158
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: to practice. She was baptized as age at age thirteen,

159
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: dunked in a local pond while dressed in all white

160
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: a mixed blessing for someone who washed her clothes by hands.

161
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: I started each day on my knees saying the Lord's prayer.

162
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 1: Then I got busy about my work. McCarthy told one interviewer.

163
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: You have to accept God the best way you know how,

164
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: and then he'll show himself to you. And the more

165
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: you serve him, the more able you are to serve them.

166
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: Some people make a lot of noise about what's wrong

167
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 1: with the world, and they are usually blaming somebody else.

168
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: I think people who don't like the way things are

169
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: need to look at themselves first. They need to get

170
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: right with God and change their own ways. If everybody

171
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 1: did that, we'd be all right. Like a lot of philanthroper's,

172
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: josil and McCarty knew that giving is its own pleasure.

173
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: When a journalist from People magazine asked her why she

174
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 1: didn't spend the money she'd saved on herself, she answered

175
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 1: with a smile that, thanks to the pleasure that comes

176
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:36,119
Speaker 1: from making a gift, I am spending it on myself.

177
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: I'm proud that I worked hard and that my money

178
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: will help young people who worked hard to deserve it.

179
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: I'm proud that I'm leaving something positive of this world.

180
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: My only regret is that I didn't have more to give.

181
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: Like a lot of philanthropists, McCarty hope to inspire others

182
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:55,560
Speaker 1: to similar acts, and she did. In addition to the

183
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 1: local outpouring that more than tripled her endowment, Cable TV

184
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 1: mogul Ted Turner decided to donate a billion dollars to

185
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: charity after hearing her story. A billion dollars. He was

186
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: quoted in New York Times saying, if that little woman

187
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: can give away everything she has, that I can give

188
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 1: a billion. And like a lot of philantropists, Ocel, McCarty

189
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: knew she didn't have to save the whole world. She

190
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: cast her buckets down and fixed what was at hand.

191
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: I can't do everything, but I can do something to

192
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: help somebody. And what I can do, I will do, Ocel.

193
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 1: And McCarty deserves to be recognized not only for her

194
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 1: own accomplishments, but as a representative millions of other everyday

195
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: Americans who give humbly of themselves year after year. Sounds

196
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: kind of like a army of normal folks, she represents Alex.

197
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: As I read that to you, guys, I challenge you

198
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 1: to go to g and look this woman up. It

199
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: is the story of a washerwoman with a sixth grade education,

200
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 1: who worked from sun up to sundown, who gave of

201
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: herself and at the end of the day saved over

202
00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,560
Speaker 1: a quarter of a million dollars in quarters and dollars

203
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: first and are bugging, and then in the bank that

204
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,400
Speaker 1: gave to a university so that people that came from

205
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: where she came could work hard and have an education.

206
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: If you do not think that average Americans can make

207
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 1: a massive difference, then you don't know the likes of

208
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: an Osila McCarty. So Shop Talk number forty eight is

209
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 1: about generosity and humility and doing what you can where

210
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: you can, and recognizing that anything you do, if you

211
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: do it with all you got and you give and

212
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: you're humble and you're generous, you never know how massive

213
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: your contribution society can be. And if a sixth grade

214
00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: educated black woman from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, who wouldn't have even

215
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 1: been admitted to the university prior to nineteen sixty that

216
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 1: she gave her money to can change the world what

217
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: can each of us do.

218
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: The other thing I really like that she said is

219
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,080
Speaker 2: after visiting Niagara Falls in Chicago. I'm saying, yeah, it

220
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 2: was nice, but I want to be back in my

221
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: little plot of land, Like God's given us this plot

222
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: of land that we're all called to and what can

223
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,680
Speaker 2: we do there? And it's such a beautiful sentiment of verse.

224
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it reminds me of the story Just grow where

225
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: you are. Yeah, And that's what she did. So Shop

226
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: Talk number forty eight is a call to me and

227
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: to all of you, recognize that you can do phenomenal things.

228
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,400

229
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: to have great education. Just be a normal person and

230
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: do what you can where you are, and you can

231
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,880
Speaker 1: and change the world and inspire others and.

232
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 2: Maybe even a billionaire. I forgot about the Ted Turner

233
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 2: part of the story.

234
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: Yeah that was fah. I mean this woman eventually had

235
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,360
