Abstract | Clyde Perteet is a second generation farmer from Sallis, MS. His family was able to purchase land from an individual for whom they worked in the early 1940s, which paved the way for multiple instances of racialized violence and discrimination towards his family from neighboring white families that would persist through much of his life. The interview is predicated on the subject of violence and inequality as he knew it from his lifetime, as well as what he knew from his father's lifetime. |
