5 | | 2.8197 | tell me a little bit about | 4.7536 |
7 | | 6.2691 | growing up in Valdosta. You grew up, you said, in South Street. | 9.0017 |
8 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 9.3747 | [Yeah.] | 9.6853 |
9 | VLD_int_01 | 9.3747 | [Can] you describe your house for me? | 10.7783 |
10 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 11.7097 | We had a small house at first, and then we moved | 15.0204 |
12 | | 15.4354 | to a larger house | 16.6850 |
14 | | 16.9042 | on South Street. /RD-ADDRESS-5/ | 19.2811 |
16 | | 20.1717 | And we was about a block from my | 22.5265 |
18 | | 23.0383 | elementary school, which was South Street Elementary School. | 26.4841 |
20 | | 27.3733 | Walking distance. | 28.6696 |
22 | | 29.7047 | So, we went there | 30.6839 |
24 | | 30.8145 | I went to- | 31.3787 |
26 | | 31.6492 | there for, until I was seventh grade. | 34.8787 |
28 | | 35.5129 | Then we had | 36.4221 |
30 | | 36.5049 | go | 36.7380 |

34 | | 38.5286 | over on | 39.0788 |
36 | | 39.3866 | Troop Street. | 40.2352 |
38 | | 41.8346 | We walked there because there was no busses but we were close enough to walk to school. | 47.0745 |
40 | | 47.2331 | But some people didn't. They had to come from way cross town and | 50.5006 |
42 | | 50.9156 | Tom Town and everywhere, you know | 52.9486 |
44 | | 53.1305 | back over here. | 54.0025 |
46 | | 54.3430 | We only had two | 55.3922 |
48 | | 56.0264 | elementary school. That was Magnolia | 58.1748 |
50 | | 58.3846 | and South Street. | 59.4431 |
51 | VLD_int_01 | 60.2824 | And neither of them are | 61.3036 |

59 | VLD_int_01 | 64.8904 | South | 65.3240 |
61 | | 65.4546 | [Street School.] | 66.2100 |
62 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 65.4639 | [Mm-hm.] | 65.9115 |
63 | | 66.3452 | Where I lived, So- | 67.0260 |
65 | | 67.4223 | South Street. Where the- where the south | 69.2344 |
67 | | 70.0224 | where'd you go down there, /over there/ Pineview? | 72.1580 |
68 | VLD_int_01 | 72.8341 | Mm-hm. | 73.3750 |
69 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 73.4403 | That's was South Street | 74.7354 |
71 | | 75.8032 | campus. | 76.5213 |
73 | | 76.8990 | They tore it down | 78.0881 |
75 | | 79.2911 | and put | 79.7469 |
77 | | 79.9054 | e- | 80.0547 |
79 | | 80.4836 | that school there. | 81.4255 |
80 | VLD_int_01 | 81.7240 | Oh. | 82.1436 |
81 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 82.2182 | [Mm-hm.] | 82.6705 |
82 | VLD_int_01 | 82.2695 | [Okay.] | 82.6705 |
83 | | 83.2161 | And, | 83.8922 |
85 | | 84.0041 | when you started going to schools, was it segregated? | 86.1819 |
86 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 86.8627 | Yes. | 87.8559 |
88 | | 88.6719 | We didn't know anything about the other side of town. (laughing) | 91.3993 |
90 | | 91.7863 | Well, | 92.0987 |
92 | | 92.5137 | what the white folks did. <laugh> | 94.7900 |
94 | | 95.5286 | And we always had to get handy downs. | 98.1426 |
96 | | 98.6135 | You know, they would have the best | 100.4449 |
98 | | 100.5195 | books, | 101.3682 |
100 | | 102.3287 | desks, | 103.2986 |
102 | | 103.9887 | any kind of equipment. And we got 'em when they | 106.4869 |
104 | | 106.9485 | was getting new ones. | 108.2728 |
105 | VLD_int_01 | 108.3614 | [Mm.] | 108.6505 |
106 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 108.5525 | [So,] we was able to get | 109.7742 |
107 | | 109.9281 | their books. And now, we never had new books | 112.4216 |
109 | | 112.6641 | even through high school. | 113.9930 |
111 | | 115.2566 | finished /RD-SCHOOL-4/ in nineteen | 117.6980 |
113 | | 118.7518 | fifty-four. | 119.9175 |
115 | | 120.5890 | Still, | 121.2791 |
117 | | 121.4936 | had no | 122.2058 |
119 | | 123.0358 | new books. No new nothing. | 124.8171 |
120 | VLD_int_01 | 126.5423 | Wow. | 126.8501 |
121 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 126.9433 | It was always hand me down. | 128.5229 |
122 | VLD_int_01 | 128.9612 | Do you feel like you got a good education? | 130.4254 |
123 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 131.0549 | I think so, because | 132.5796 |
125 | | 133.9505 | during that time, the teachers was | 135.8914 |
127 | | 136.1666 | they were black too, you know. | 137.5374 |
129 | | 137.9058 | So, they always see that we | 139.8771 |
131 | | 140.1475 | learned | 140.9822 |
133 | | 141.5837 | and most of 'em knew your parents. | 143.4115 |
135 | | 143.6167 | So, if they knew your parents, they was gonna get with your parents and talk. | 146.9542 |
137 | | 147.2853 | It wasn't no such thing as PTA and | 149.7006 |
139 | | 150.3768 | stuff like that. But, they would just | 152.0776 |
141 | | 152.1895 | come back cause | 153.2246 |
143 | | 153.5277 | telephones wasn't in use. | 154.9732 |
145 | | 155.4488 | [<laugh>] | 155.7566 |
146 | VLD_int_01 | 155.4488 | [<laugh>] | 156.3395 |
147 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 156.4700 | Telephones wasn't e- | 157.9053 |
149 | | 158.2690 | <laugh> | 158.6560 |
151 | | 159.1585 | First telephone we had, | 160.7485 |
153 | | 161.2055 | I think we had to put a quarter in it or something on the wall | 164.4369 |
155 | | 164.8565 | to use it. | 165.6574 |
157 | | 166.3429 | And that was real rare. | 167.6904 |
159 | | 167.7790 | You was a- | 168.1894 |
161 | | 168.3759 | you was something if you had a telephone. <laugh> | 170.7633 |
162 | VLD_int_01 | 171.3497 | <laugh> | 171.7040 |
164 | | 171.9838 | Now, how many of i- wa- how many were there? Were there- you. How many brothers and [sisters was it?] | 175.8354 |

178 | | 189.2517 | and your parents had a bedroom. | 190.6926 |

197 | | 205.7608 | you didn't have as much responsibility because you weren't the oldest, | 208.1220 |
199 | | 208.2339 | but you weren't the baby either. | 209.1711 |
200 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 209.2364 | No. | 209.6841 |

293 | | 302.8049 | She was always just so. | 304.0685 |
295 | | 304.3949 | She had no children, and she likeded all children. | 307.3155 |
297 | | 307.3854 | You know how she just | 308.4905 |

302 | VLD_int_01 | 310.0090 | [Mm.] | 310.2833 |
303 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 310.8155 | I remember that in | 311.9726 |
305 | | 312.0845 | third grade. | 312.9611 |
307 | | 316.7229 | And when I got to high school, | 318.4342 |
309 | | 319.7724 | Mrs./RD-NAME-2/. | 321.1620 |
311 | | 322.0826 | /She/ lived on Magnolia Street. | 323.7441 |
313 | | 324.8072 | She was our | 325.4787 |
315 | | 325.6652 | third grade teacher. She was strict. | 327.4546 |
317 | | 327.5152 | But, if you | 328.6017 |
319 | | 329.2218 | would get her lesson, you would pass. You know? | 331.6605 |
320 | VLD_int_01 | 331.7417 | [Mm-hm. | 332.0290 |

531 | | 562.7137 | job I ever had there down in Tampa (laughing). | 565.0778 |

545 | | 579.6071 | I didn't do that. | 580.3298 |
547 | | 580.6189 | But, you know, I always did hair. | 582.2871 |
549 | | 583.5414 | So, when I- | 584.2735 |
551 | | 584.7677 | even in high school, | 585.9288 |
553 | | 586.4324 | I used to do | 587.0246 |
555 | | 587.5375 | um, | 588.1985 |

570 | VLD_int_01 | 601.9331 | [<laugh>] | 605.0945 |
571 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 601.9382 | [Back then, you had to look like you left home.] | 604.5956 |
572 | | 605.7695 | But, | 606.0353 |
574 | | 606.2824 | we was go in the basement. They had a basement | 608.8710 |
576 | | 609.0055 | in /RD-SCHOOL-2/. | 609.9381 |
578 | | 610.3158 | Go down there, and I make 'em all a pony tail, and I think I was in the fourth grade. | 614.2710 |
580 | | 615.7958 | When I really started messing with hair. | 617.8323 |
581 | VLD_int_01 | 617.8447 | Mm-hm. | 618.1950 |
582 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 618.2660 | Mm-hm. | 618.7509 |

595 | VLD_int_01 | 637.0087 | And how much would you [charge?] | 637.9972 |
596 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 637.7250 | [Fifty] cents. | 639.2329 |
597 | VLD_int_01 | 639.2702 | Fifty cents. | 640.0909 |

617 | | 666.5308 | I’m’a go to beauty school and | 667.8984 |

627 | | 674.3335 | I- | 674.4827 |
629 | | 674.6832 | I did hair a while, when I got back here | 677.1032 |
631 | | 677.5042 | cause I, when I | 678.1291 |

635 | | 679.6344 | uh, my daddy moved me in the project | 681.6955 |
637 | | 682.2037 | cause they didn't have a house. | 683.4720 |
639 | | 684.5389 | I stayed out there eight months | 685.9937 |
641 | | 686.5159 | before I moved here. | 687.6945 |
642 | VLD_int_01 | 687.8344 | Mm-hm. | 688.1981 |

647 | | 695.5457 | two. | 695.9327 |
649 | | 696.8405 | Yeah, so I babysit for them for eight months out there in the project. | 700.2307 |
651 | | 700.4266 | Cause they were working | 701.5410 |
653 | | 702.3104 | and I wasn't working. | 703.5367 |
655 | | 705.9929 | Then when I moved here in sixty-one. | 709.4528 |
657 | | 710.1289 | Sixty-two, | 710.9578 |
659 | | 712.4639 | I went to Pinevale | 713.6669 |
661 | | 714.5435 | Beauty School. I- | 715.4435 |
663 | | 715.8631 | Cause I was doing hair, you know, in the kitchen, and you know how people would | 718.9934 |
665 | | 719.4186 | during that time they would turn you up. The licensed beauticians would | 723.4893 |
667 | | 723.8577 | if uh, | 724.3426 |
669 | | 724.5152 | the state people came about | 726.1192 |
670 | VLD_int_01 | 726.2358 | [Mm-hm.] | 726.5668 |
671 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 726.3011 | [and they] | 726.5855 |

674 | | 730.2354 | you know, report you. | 731.2612 |
676 | | 732.2078 | And so, | 732.9306 |
678 | | 733.3735 | I- | 733.8212 |
680 | | 734.2128 | they | 734.3621 |

684 | | 737.3358 | And I knew the lady done it. This beauty shop down there. | 740.3523 |
686 | | 740.5854 | <laugh> | 740.8139 |
688 | | 741.6299 | So, I | 742.0671 |
690 | | 742.1557 | start going to school, so it took uh, e- | 744.0954 |
692 | | 744.2819 | eighteen months, mm, | 745.3964 |
694 | | 745.4896 | two years | 746.3476 |
696 | | 746.4502 | to finish. | 747.1123 |
698 | | 747.3828 | So, I finished it in | 748.2396 |
700 | | 748.4401 | sixty-one, | 749.8856 |
702 | | 750.7902 | sixty-two. | 751.5456 |
703 | VLD_int_01 | 751.8394 | Mm-hm. | 752.2497 |
704 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 752.3523 | Mm-hm. | 752.7486 |
706 | | 755.3727 | And I've been r- here ever since. | 757.2145 |
707 | VLD_int_01 | 757.2472 | Did you- | 757.5363 |
709 | | 757.7741 | but you didn't start with your own shop, you started working at | 759.8397 |
711 | | 760.1728 | the lady's shop? Or you started your own shop [right away?] | 762.3801 |
712 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 761.8205 | [I started] my own shop. | 763.4619 |
713 | VLD_int_01 | 764.0110 | In sixty-two? | 764.8736 |
714 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 764.9435 | Mm-hm. | 765.4098 |
715 | VLD_int_01 | 766.4403 | In this same shop right [now?] | 767.5734 |
716 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 767.3916 | [<ts>] | 767.5175 |
717 | | 767.6107 | This same shop right here, this house, | 769.5785 |
719 | | 769.6519 | this shop wasn't built on here, this house was just straight | 773.2983 |
721 | | 774.1982 | back then. | 774.7858 |
723 | | 775.3500 | So, oh, uh. | 776.5845 |
725 | | 778.9999 | I think it was Mr. Scott. He had | 780.7998 |
727 | | 781.4759 | this | 781.6939 |
729 | | 782.1135 | uh, | 782.5099 |
731 | | 782.5752 | cottoners were coming, they | 783.8062 |
733 | | 784.0067 | added this here shop. He said | 785.6340 |
735 | | 786.0164 | I di- | 786.2962 |
737 | | 786.3856 | Cause this was a driveway. Like, | 788.1369 |
738 | VLD_int_01 | 788.3280 | Mm-hm. | 788.7710 |
739 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 789.1487 | so, he said, you can put a shop there. | 791.1258 |
741 | | 791.8579 | So, they ma- | 792.4361 |
743 | | 792.5666 | they built this shop here. | 793.9768 |
745 | | 794.1540 | Two old mens. | 795.4503 |
747 | | 795.9306 | It wasn't never fixed like it's supposed to be, cause | 798.4194 |
749 | | 798.5587 | old timey | 799.2914 |
751 | | 799.9520 | uh, carpenters, you know they didn't measure nothing. They just fit it. [<laugh>] | 803.7341 |
752 | VLD_int_01 | 803.0103 | [<laugh>] | 804.4558 |
753 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 804.5735 | So, | 804.9034 |
755 | | 805.2112 | it got burned in | 806.5121 |
757 | | 807.2943 | in seve- | 808.0917 |
759 | | 808.3295 | two thou- | 808.8611 |
761 | | 809.1968 | ninet- | 809.5978 |
763 | | 809.9289 | when was it? Two thou- | 810.9407 |
765 | | 812.9633 | Nineteen seventy-nine. | 814.6979 |
767 | | 815.2015 | It got burned. | 816.1294 |
769 | | 817.1739 | And um, | 817.8407 |
771 | | 818.2778 | I had to have it redone over | 820.2129 |
773 | | 821.5652 | and the carpenters that | 822.5677 |
775 | | 822.8708 | got there. And they say well, | 824.3256 |
777 | | 824.7534 | I just don't see how you stayed in tha- in this little place all this long time. | 829.2904 |
779 | | 829.6495 | Nothing was measured or fi- <laugh> | 832.0497 |
781 | | 832.5113 | but, they fixed it. You know, [like it is now.] | 834.9361 |
782 | VLD_int_01 | 833.8030 | [Right. Mm-hm.] | 834.6236 |
783 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 835.6926 | So, | 836.1916 |
785 | | 836.6532 | that's about | 837.1836 |
787 | | 837.3048 | cause I got. | 837.8691 |
789 | | 838.6058 | My | 838.8203 |
791 | | 838.9555 | shop caught on fire. That's what happened. | 841.0025 |
793 | | 842.3734 | I left the TV on, and I went in- | 844.4379 |
795 | | 844.5778 | in the kitchen | 845.3612 |
797 | | 845.5430 | for lunch, | 846.1632 |
799 | | 846.4290 | and when I come back, | 847.5341 |
801 | | 847.6833 | a whole wall was burning down. | 849.7385 |
803 | | 850.5032 | So, he say I had a electric shortage up in the attic or something, and | 854.6112 |
805 | | 855.1836 | it was | 855.5426 |
807 | | 855.6685 | burning all the time, but I just didn't know it. | 857.8881 |
808 | VLD_int_01 | 858.1865 | Until it | 858.5947 |
810 | | 858.7346 | just [really caught on fire?] | 859.7977 |
811 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 859.1309 | [Mm-hm. So,] I stayed out of here about six months, almost before they could get it back. I went down to uh | 865.0833 |
812 | | 865.7489 | Maggie's Beauty Shop and I worked down there. | 868.0197 |
814 | | 870.2952 | And I couldn't wait to get back [home (laughing) cause] | 872.6209 |
815 | VLD_int_01 | 872.2385 | [<laugh>] | 872.6022 |
816 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 873.0685 | I didn't like the- | 874.0244 |
818 | | 874.0990 | the system like they were doing. Now, they were older than I were. | 877.5566 |
820 | | 878.1430 | And they was used to that kind of stuff. | 880.1387 |
822 | | 881.1738 | But uh, | 881.6028 |
824 | | 881.7614 | I just didn't like it, so uh, a | 883.5024 |
826 | | 883.6236 | few customers I did have they say, I was glad when you get back home, say we'll wash our own hair, you just do it. (laughing) | 889.6249 |
827 | VLD_int_01 | 889.7694 | Mm. | 890.2917 |
828 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 890.3430 | But, I said no, so, I finally got back down here. | 893.2551 |
830 | | 893.3390 | Took about six month. | 894.3882 |
832 | | 895.5120 | <ts> | 895.6332 |
834 | | 896.1648 | So, I've been here ever since. | 897.7337 |
835 | VLD_int_01 | 898.0847 | Now, wha- how did you move- why did you move back to Valdosta? | 900.2670 |
836 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 901.3674 | Well, after my husband died. | 902.9808 |

845 | | 912.4954 | thought I was by myself. | 913.9363 |
847 | | 914.2254 | I probably coulda made it down there, but | 916.0661 |
849 | | 916.9567 | e- | 917.0966 |
851 | | 917.1992 | I know didn't think he had a U-Haul to coming down there to get us. <laugh> | 920.9808 |

886 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 952.4665 | [Mm-hm.] | 952.9887 |
887 | VLD_int_01 | 952.4665 | [Cause I think it's] | 953.0494 |
888 | | 953.1473 | really interesting | 954.0845 |
890 | | 955.0218 | cause I do- | 955.3761 |
892 | | 955.5254 | I don't know if I knew like the nineteen thirties, forties, when you [were growing up, like] | 958.7958 |
893 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 957.8277 | [No, you don't.] | 958.7649 |

904 | | 970.7913 | did it | 971.0991 |
906 | | 971.2296 | did you feel- did it feel different? Did it start. | 973.2999 |
908 | | 973.8362 | Did things- | 974.6930 |
910 | | 975.5883 | Cause I- did y'all have | 976.2318 |
912 | | 976.3996 | /?/ let me start with this, but, did y'all have the separate water fountains and the separate [entrances?] | 979.8167 |
913 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 979.0940 | [Oh, sure.] | 979.8261 |
914 | | 980.0167 | [Oh, sure.] | 980.5482 |
915 | VLD_int_01 | 980.0671 | [Okay. So,] tell me a little bit about [like that.] | 981.7085 |
916 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 981.5266 | [We had] the | 982.0116 |
917 | | 982.3146 | they called it the | 983.0980 |
919 | | 983.3312 | colored and the white. | 984.3430 |
921 | | 984.8513 | We were colored folks then. | 986.4588 |
923 | | 986.5754 | Not black. | 987.1955 |
925 | | 987.3821 | Color. | 987.7178 |
927 | | 988.5012 | And they would have a colored fountain and | 990.4036 |
929 | | 991.5833 | they | 991.9004 |
931 | | 992.0263 | I can't even remember having a colored | 994.3286 |
933 | | 994.4639 | bathroom. | 995.3312 |
935 | | 995.8860 | But they just had | 996.6368 |
937 | | 996.7300 | color fountains, cause you could go to a filling station | 999.8903 |
939 | | 1000.3659 | <ts> fill up your car with gas, they had bathroom, but you couldn't go in 'em. | 1004.4366 |
941 | | 1006.7483 | And stores, | 1007.9793 |
943 | | 1009.1404 | I remember Walgreens used to be downtown. | 1011.9155 |
945 | | 1012.9355 | And the black folks had to go in the back | 1015.0525 |
947 | | 1016.0317 | to the window- | 1016.6892 |
949 | | 1016.9689 | is the alley | 1017.8362 |
951 | | 1018.0507 | back there. | 1018.6511 |
953 | | 1019.0288 | You had to go back there and order from that | 1020.8800 |
955 | | 1021.3323 | window back there you couldn't go in the restaurant. | 1023.7803 |
956 | VLD_int_01 | 1025.0390 | Mm. | 1025.3281 |
957 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1025.3281 | And, | 1025.8177 |
958 | | 1026.1581 | the | 1026.3469 |
960 | | 1026.6198 | crest, | 1027.0908 |
962 | | 1027.5664 | downtown, on that corner, | 1029.0819 |
964 | | 1029.7906 | they had a- | 1030.4015 |
966 | | 1030.7920 | a little eating fountain, | 1032.3354 |
968 | | 1033.0582 | you couldn't sit there on those stools | 1035.1518 |
970 | | 1035.5182 | and | 1035.7793 |
972 | | 1035.8819 | order nothing. | 1036.6513 |
974 | | 1037.9987 | it was just prohibited, /they'd say/- | 1039.3370 |
976 | | 1039.4829 | they had a sign up there some time, White Only. | 1041.9123 |
978 | | 1042.7330 | And, that mean for you not to sit on. | 1044.4142 |
980 | | 1044.8991 | So, we had some little young black boys that was in the early- | 1048.0491 |
982 | | 1049.0610 | when they started the Civil Rights. | 1050.5742 |
984 | | 1051.0032 | They sat on those stools. They come | 1053.2259 |
986 | | 1053.3379 | call theyself integrating, and then police | 1055.5714 |
988 | | 1055.6833 | got 'em just like they- you see on the movies and beat 'em and | 1058.5546 |
990 | | 1059.0069 | put 'em in jail and all that for standing up to getting a cup of coffee | 1062.6872 |
992 | | 1062.7991 | at t- | 1063.1302 |
994 | | 1063.2141 | cou- | 1063.3726 |
996 | | 1063.4426 | white counter. | 1064.3367 |
998 | | 1065.9641 | But, it was- | 1066.6215 |
1000 | | 1066.7428 | it was rough. | 1067.6334 |
1002 | | 1068.6219 | We really felt it then. | 1070.2761 |
1004 | | 1072.6215 | [And you cou-] look in, you go in the store, you couldn't try on no shoes. | 1076.5032 |
1005 | VLD_int_01 | 1072.6215 | [Did /??/] | 1073.0822 |
1006 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1077.1513 | You had to measure your feet, | 1078.8708 |
1008 | | 1080.4422 | and you just went and got a shoe tha- | 1082.3633 |
1010 | | 1082.5265 | that l- | 1082.8436 |
1012 | | 1083.0861 | length of that | 1083.8088 |
1014 | | 1084.9174 | shoe. | 1085.2905 |
1016 | | 1085.4210 | Cause you couldn't try 'em on in the store. | 1087.4307 |
1018 | | 1089.0161 | Couldn't try on your | 1089.7668 |
1020 | | 1089.8554 | clothes. | 1090.5537 |
1022 | | 1093.4261 | You could buy 'em, but you couldn't try 'em on. | 1095.3705 |
1023 | VLD_int_01 | 1097.7313 | And this was like that all over town? | 1099.2747 |
1024 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1099.3307 | All over town. | 1100.6305 |
1026 | | 1101.6423 | <laugh> | 1101.9454 |
1027 | VLD_int_01 | 1101.9501 | So, were there like | 1102.7055 |
1029 | | 1103.0225 | sections, like | 1103.8386 |
1031 | | 1104.0064 | for just the black folks on this side of town? | 1105.8669 |
1033 | | 1105.9275 | Or, | 1106.2714 |
1035 | | 1106.4859 | even those stores were. | 1107.7263 |
1036 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1108.2672 | All of 'em like that. We didn't. See, we didn't have no black stores or [nothing like that]. Er- white people owned everything. | 1114.0522 |

1067 | | 1148.7606 | function, like do- | 1149.7258 |
1069 | | 1150.2108 | do you feel like they experience racism? Did you- | 1151.8603 |

1096 | | 1176.7235 | Yes ma'am, no ma'am. | 1178.1177 |
1097 | VLD_int_01 | 1181.7906 | So, now, thinking ba- so, what happened in the- | 1184.1034 |
1099 | | 1184.4625 | At what point do you think there was a turning point here? | 1186.8499 |
1101 | | 1187.9363 | In the c- in Valdosta. Was it- | 1189.1289 |
1103 | | 1189.6978 | was it | 1190.0941 |
1105 | | 1190.6117 | the beginning of the civil rights? Was it after MLK was assassinated? | 1193.7452 |
1106 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1195.6931 | I think it was after he was assassinated. | 1198.0619 |
1108 | | 1200.3642 | When it | 1200.6067 |
1110 | | 1200.7186 | really got better here. | 1201.9589 |
1111 | VLD_int_01 | 1202.5977 | And what happened? | 1203.2412 |
1112 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1204.3789 | Well, it started ha- well. | 1205.9503 |
1114 | | 1206.0156 | Uh, black people started going to school and | 1208.4951 |
1116 | | 1208.9707 | getting themselves ready for good jobs cause | 1211.8151 |
1118 | | 1212.1275 | most of 'em | 1212.8305 |
1120 | | 1213.1849 | didn't even finish high school. | 1214.9148 |
1122 | | 1215.6142 | A- | 1215.7914 |
1124 | | 1216.0759 | College was just out of it. Nobody went to college way back there. | 1219.7845 |
1126 | | 1220.8355 | So, | 1221.1339 |
1128 | | 1221.2645 | that's what you had to do. | 1222.5048 |
1130 | | 1222.6540 | Whatever your parents did, you | 1224.2896 |
1132 | | 1224.6067 | a- | 1224.6999 |

1171 | | 1267.2150 | it hadn't got there. | 1268.1709 |
1173 | | 1268.6185 | [<laugh>] | 1269.6572 |

1353 | | 1482.8428 | college before they, | 1484.0052 |
1355 | | 1484.5647 | you know, Valdosta State got started. | 1486.6096 |
1357 | | 1487.6447 | And most of 'em come back, and was teachers and different things, and they could really help their children. | 1492.7073 |
1359 | | 1495.3515 | Yeah. | 1495.7339 |
1360 | VLD_int_01 | 1498.0455 | So. | 1498.4652 |
1362 | | 1500.1531 | So, then, okay. So, now let's go back to | 1502.6474 |
1364 | | 1502.9785 | thinking about | 1503.5706 |
1366 | | 1503.9670 | let's fast forward a little bit. Thinking about today, | 1505.9360 |
1367 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1506.1459 | Mm-hm. | 1506.5142 |
1368 | VLD_int_01 | 1506.6495 | and thinking about | 1507.3734 |
1370 | | 1507.4853 | when you were younger. What do you f- how do you feel like is the race relations in Valdosta now? | 1511.4243 |
1372 | | 1512.5574 | Like, | 1512.7859 |
1374 | | 1512.8512 | the whites, the blacks, | 1514.2349 |
1376 | | 1514.5007 | do you feel like it's still segregated in a [way?] | 1516.1840 |
1377 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1516.0022 | [No.] I | 1516.6363 |
1378 | | 1516.7202 | think they gets along pretty good now. | 1518.8185 |
1380 | | 1519.0703 | Uh-huh. I really do. | 1520.1288 |
1381 | VLD_int_01 | 1521.5592 | Um. | 1522.1187 |
1383 | | 1522.1980 | And then, | 1522.9627 |
1385 | | 1523.0700 | what do you think about | 1524.5574 |
1387 | | 1525.4154 | you know how people talk about different sides of town? | 1527.5384 |
1388 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1527.6736 | Mm-hm. | 1528.1259 |
1389 | VLD_int_01 | 1528.1259 | Tell me about the different sides of town. | 1529.7533 |
1390 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1532.1442 | <ts> Well, we didn't know nothing about the white side of town (laughing). We always stayed in- | 1536.1677 |
1392 | | 1536.5081 | in this side of the | 1537.4955 |
1394 | | 1537.9152 | Magno- I mean | 1539.0016 |
1396 | | 1539.1883 | Westside, they had their little side, and I think Tom Town, they called it out here. | 1543.5871 |
1398 | | 1544.0361 | They had their's, but | 1545.1599 |
1400 | | 1545.6262 | now, | 1546.2883 |
1402 | | 1546.6520 | they all over Valdosta. You buy a house or | 1549.7564 |
1404 | | 1549.9848 | build a house anywhere you wanna. | 1551.5842 |
1405 | VLD_int_01 | 1553.5461 | And you feel like it's- it's- it's good? | 1555.3134 |
1406 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1555.3134 | It's good. | 1555.9196 |
1407 | | 1556.0128 | Better. | 1556.3485 |
1408 | VLD_int_01 | 1556.5770 | So now let's talk about | 1557.9712 |
1410 | | 1558.3443 | church. | 1558.9411 |
1412 | | 1559.0530 | Cause that's a very important | 1560.7212 |
1414 | | 1561.2994 | part of- | 1562.3905 |
1416 | | 1562.4744 | of life and | 1563.9386 |
1418 | | 1564.0645 | especially in the South. | 1565.1183 |
1420 | | 1565.6592 | So, | 1566.1721 |
1422 | | 1566.9403 | tell me about, did you always go to church? | 1568.9547 |
1423 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1569.2298 | Mm-hm. | 1569.6728 |
1424 | VLD_int_01 | 1569.8174 | Even when you were younger? | 1570.6287 |
1425 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1570.6287 | <ts> Yeah. we was | 1571.3608 |
1426 | | 1571.4307 | brought up in [church.] | 1572.5626 |
1427 | VLD_int_01 | 1572.3575 | [So,] tell me about | 1573.1315 |
1428 | | 1573.2294 | going to church when you were younger | 1574.6050 |
1430 | | 1574.6796 | with your family. Like your parents and. | 1576.5494 |
1431 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1576.5494 | Yeah, we | 1577.1882 |
1432 | | 1577.3141 | walked to church. We ha- our church | 1579.1269 |
1434 | | 1579.2248 | the church I'm a member of now, been a member of my church | 1582.1764 |
1436 | | 1582.9271 | ever since nineteen forty-eight. | 1584.9497 |
1437 | VLD_int_01 | 1584.9497 | Okay. So you | 1585.5698 |
1439 | | 1585.7750 | grew up in [that church] | 1586.7495 |
1440 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1586.4838 | I /drew/ up in church. | 1587.8288 |
1441 | | 1588.2137 | So, we always walked. | 1589.4960 |
1443 | | 1589.9203 | Cause we was right right round here on South Street. We walked to this church up here. | 1593.6402 |
1445 | | 1594.4282 | And my parents, they was a member out at, um, | 1597.7051 |
1447 | | 1597.9895 | out here on forty-one. | 1599.3930 |
1449 | | 1600.0272 | And they only had church once a month. | 1602.0649 |
1451 | | 1602.2176 | That was the first Sunday. | 1603.4299 |
1453 | | 1603.9242 | So, we were living next door to a lady that belongs to Morning Star, so she said, we can have those children in Sunday school | 1610.1387 |
1455 | | 1610.2133 | every Sunday cause we had | 1611.8080 |
1457 | | 1612.0458 | always had church every Sunday | 1613.7091 |
1459 | | 1614.0682 | at Morning Star. | 1615.0148 |
1460 | VLD_int_01 | 1615.0384 | Mm. | 1615.4327 |
1461 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1615.5090 | But you know those kind of little country churches and | 1617.7461 |
1463 | | 1618.2403 | lot of 'em just had once a month. Some of 'em had two. | 1620.7863 |
1465 | | 1621.5930 | But, mostly was once. | 1622.9685 |
1467 | | 1623.4803 | But, | 1623.7321 |
1469 | | 1623.8953 | I've always been in church. | 1625.3827 |
1470 | VLD_int_01 | 1627.3443 | Were you- did you d- what did you do at church? Usher? Sing? | 1630.3612 |
1471 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1630.3845 | I sang in the choir. | 1631.7694 |
1473 | | 1632.6029 | I was president of my mission | 1634.3515 |
1475 | | 1634.8085 | for thirty years. | 1635.9742 |
1477 | | 1637.5596 | I did- | 1638.3896 |
1479 | | 1639.8666 | No, I did no usher. I didn't like ushering. | 1641.9229 |
1481 | | 1642.4964 | [<laugh>] | 1643.1632 |
1482 | VLD_int_01 | 1642.9534 | [Why] not? | 1643.3357 |
1483 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1643.8708 | Cause people won't do what you say. You tell 'em to sit here, and they gonna say I'm wanna sit over there. | 1648.2213 |
1485 | | 1648.5710 | <laugh> | 1650.7250 |
1487 | | 1651.2705 | I wasn't a good greeter. | 1652.5901 |
1488 | VLD_int_01 | 1652.6974 | [<laugh>] | 1654.2305 |
1489 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1653.2047 | [And you- a usher should] be a good greeter, smiling, | 1656.6803 |
1490 | | 1657.0626 | and be nice. | 1658.0885 |
1492 | | 1658.6545 | And see, if you can't be nice, and I wasn't nice, | 1661.2820 |
1494 | | 1661.5366 | you know, that nice. | 1662.6342 |
1496 | | 1662.8010 | <laugh> | 1664.6845 |
1497 | VLD_int_01 | 1665.0884 | So you- that wasn't [your calling?] | 1666.5576 |
1498 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1665.9957 | [Mm-hm.] And I | 1666.9264 |
1499 | | 1667.0186 | taught Sunday school a while when I got out /?/. | 1669.7757 |
1501 | | 1670.6186 | And I always helped with the young peoples at church. | 1673.2485 |
1503 | | 1674.2100 | Cause I had children. | 1675.5447 |
1505 | | 1676.0320 | And so, | 1676.6071 |
1507 | | 1676.7564 | just, | 1677.0929 |
1509 | | 1677.7251 | teach the other folk's children, you got to carry your own, so my four was always in church. | 1682.3154 |
1511 | | 1683.1549 | /RD-NAME-3/ | 1684.0520 |
1513 | | 1684.6910 | He the only one stop when he was sixteen, he got a job so he wouldn't have to go to church | 1689.7634 |
1515 | | 1690.4746 | on Sunday. | 1691.2297 |
1517 | | 1692.4136 | So, uh. Huh. | 1693.2214 |
1519 | | 1693.5814 | Cause I always say, if you live with me, | 1695.6273 |
1521 | | 1696.6107 | you gonna go to church, | 1698.0624 |
1523 | | 1698.4970 | and do what I say do. | 1699.8931 |
1525 | | 1701.0039 | So, if you don't wanna do that, just move. | 1702.9751 |
1526 | VLD_int_01 | 1703.9326 | [<laugh>] | 1704.6693 |
1527 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1704.0725 | [<laugh>] | 1704.5947 |

1532 | VLD_int_01 | 1710.2336 | [<laugh>] | 1710.9712 |
1533 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1711.1380 | Cause | 1711.4936 |
1535 | | 1711.6780 | all of 'em graduated from school. | 1713.6887 |
1537 | | 1714.3385 | Two of 'em graduated from Valdosta State. | 1716.4399 |
1539 | | 1717.1687 | One of them went to Morris Brown. | 1718.7185 |

1610 | | 1801.7665 | What's the one lesson that you think you've given to your kids that | 1804.8365 |
1612 | | 1805.1471 | was the most important lesson? | 1806.4430 |
1613 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1807.1896 | Work and take care of yourself. | 1809.0700 |
1614 | VLD_int_01 | 1811.3469 | Why do you say that? | 1811.9969 |
1615 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1812.9520 | Because you | 1813.6224 |
1617 | | 1813.7328 | er. | 1813.9699 |
1619 | | 1814.3950 | If you take care of yourself, you won't have to depend on other people. | 1818.0996 |
1620 | VLD_int_01 | 1820.5140 | Hm. | 1820.7348 |
1622 | | 1821.0209 | That's important. | 1821.7690 |
1623 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1822.0061 | Mm-hm. | 1822.4353 |
1624 | VLD_int_01 | 1823.1261 | What do you think, | 1824.0541 |
1626 | | 1824.2012 | if you could do one thing over | 1825.8513 |
1628 | | 1826.2437 | in life, not | 1827.0449 |
1630 | | 1827.2084 | because you regret it. Just something you could do differently, what would it be? | 1829.7715 |
1631 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 1830.4527 | Nursing. | 1831.0700 |
1633 | | 1831.9277 | I likeded nursing. | 1833.0035 |
1635 | | 1833.7393 | Cause um, | 1834.5691 |
1637 | | 1834.8425 | I did go to nursing school. | 1836.7678 |
1639 | | 1838.4765 | I got my little nurse's aide license way back there. | 1841.7438 |
1641 | | 1842.1448 | I got those in Tampa though when I down there. | 1844.6301 |
1643 | | 1845.8765 | And | 1846.1935 |
1645 | | 1846.7753 | well, when I left here, I was working at Pineview. | 1849.3259 |
1647 | | 1849.8994 | It | 1850.0066 |
1649 | | 1850.1745 | /well/ | 1850.6501 |
1651 | | 1851.1024 | South Georgia Medical Center now, but it was Pineview General then. | 1854.7794 |
1653 | | 1855.5347 | I worked there when they first opened. About nine months. | 1858.7102 |
1655 | | 1859.4003 | So, I had to go to school to get your | 1861.3389 |
1657 | | 1861.4695 | CPA | 1862.3368 |
1659 | | 1862.4953 | license, they call it now, but it was a nurse's aide. | 1865.6055 |
1661 | | 1866.1734 | So, I would do that. | 1867.1246 |

1853 | | 2122.8565 | I didn't | 2123.3217 |
1855 | | 2123.4802 | care too much about that (laughing) | 2125.0423 |
1857 | | 2125.4340 | but, I did like it. <laugh> | 2127.3178 |

1860 | | 2130.7998 | I likeded Michigan too. Detroit, Michigan was | 2133.8447 |
1862 | | 2133.9519 | pretty good. And Miami, was rough, I didn't like that. | 2136.9770 |
1863 | VLD_int_01 | 2137.1822 | Why was it rough? | 2137.8443 |
1864 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 2139.3178 | Oh, the- the- the housing | 2141.5082 |

1871 | VLD_int_01 | 2150.0868 | So, if you could go- | 2151.0054 |
1873 | | 2151.0986 | Where's some place that you want to go that you've never been? | 2153.5501 |
1875 | | 2155.4992 | Anywhere in the world? | 2156.4645 |

1888 | | 2168.9541 | why do you wanna go to [Vegas?] | 2170.1478 |
1889 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 2169.9286 | [I] just wanna go there. | 2171.2657 |
1890 | VLD_int_01 | 2171.3869 | See it all? | 2172.1097 |
1891 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 2172.1470 | And see it all <laugh> | 2174.1847 |

1895 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 2179.0703 | I | 2179.3407 |

1899 | VLD_se0_ag4_f_02 | 2184.5853 | <laugh> | 2185.4759 |
1901 | | 2185.8629 | I can't travel like I used to. Then, them airports and things, it's just a little too rough for me. Cause the last time, my s- | 2192.3063 |
1903 | | 2192.6327 | sister and brother lives in Rochester, New York. | 2195.4398 |
1905 | | 2197.6208 | And I went there about two years ago. | 2199.4813 |
1907 | | 2201.0201 | And I had to have me a wheel chair from here | 2203.4017 |
1909 | | 2203.5043 | to Atlanta | 2204.5674 |
1911 | | 2205.3927 | And they had to push me around everywhere where I can't walk like I used to. | 2208.9541 |
1913 | | 2210.0685 | It's the travel, it too fast [for me.] | 2212.2507 |

1919 | | 2214.7675 | care about going. | 2215.5602 |

2160 | | 2535.5862 | in that water. | 2536.2985 |
2162 | | 2536.9507 | So, I had to let that alone. | 2538.5234 |

2220 | | 2618.1720 | So, they cut it. | 2619.0739 |
2222 | | 2619.9759 | And my doctor | 2620.8363 |
2224 | | 2620.9057 | cut it too short. | 2622.2332 |
2226 | | 2623.2330 | And they | 2623.6261 |
2228 | | 2623.7233 | put it back together the wrong way | 2626.0407 |
2230 | | 2626.3783 | in my stomach. | 2627.1647 |
2232 | | 2628.4929 | So, I had to end up having surgery | 2630.8982 |
2234 | | 2631.8649 | for them to turn it right round. | 2633.7105 |
2236 | | 2634.1684 | So, I stayed in the hospital off and on for six months. | 2636.6993 |
2238 | | 2637.4440 | Over ni- | 2637.9158 |
2240 | | 2637.9991 | over and over. And I really thought I was gonna die then. | 2640.5854 |
2242 | | 2642.3385 | Cause they did so many wrong things. And how- why I say they're wrong because t- | 2646.8305 |
2244 | | 2647.3162 | the other doctors told me about what the other doctor had did and it was wrong. | 2651.7013 |
2246 | | 2652.8490 | So, I went over to | 2654.0193 |

2256 | | 2664.7858 | And they had um, | 2665.7710 |
2258 | | 2666.2984 | turned my colon upside-down. | 2668.4354 |
