In her interview, she gives a long, detailed description of her life in South Carolina, being taken in by other families, and her sense of rejection among African Americans. She recalls her move to Charlotte and her desire to help children like herself. This interview was conducted in part for the book "Hope and Dignity: Older Black women of the South" with text by Emily Herring Wilson, photographs by Susan Mullally, and foreword by Maya Angelou, published in 1983 by Temple University Press. |
