Abstract | The interview with George Ulmer covered the following areas: his family's allotment of land, his educational background, the effects of having a large farm, the day-to-day activities on the farm, the relationship that his family shared with white people, (which took a turn for the worst when a cross was burned on the property adjacent to his family land), extension services and their effects on black farmers, and the effects that land ownership had on his family. |
