Abstract | The interview provides the listener with the dynamic that occurred between African American landowners and African American sharecroppers and renters who worked from African Americans. In the case of Mr. and Mrs. Young presents two individuals who because of their respective family's procurement of land demonstrate the intimate interactions between landowning and non-landowning African Americans. Mr. MacArthur Young comes from a family of former African American sharecroppers who during the late 1940s early 1950s moved to public work: his father the lumber mill and his mother the peanut mill. Mrs. Joann Young comes from the Breedlove farming community and family and grew up on her father's over 100 acre farm. |
