Abstract | Ms. Goods's family has owned the same 103 acres in Roxboro, NC since she was a child. Her father had been a sharecropper until around 1947-48 when he purchased his farm from a white family in Roxboro, the Bradsher family. Her family continued to farm the land until the late 1990s, early 2000s. Now they live in several houses on the property and lease much of the land to a tobacco farmer. Topics included: family history, land purchase, Earl Bradsher, sharecropping, tobacco farming, Indian ancestry, CCB, white politicians, Shady Hill Baptist Church, education, elementary school book rent, first television, Kittrell College, introduction of electricity and plumbing. |
