Abstract:
Tape-recorded interviews with nineteen elderly residents of Grant and Vernon counties in Wisconsin, concerning the substantial African American communities in those two counties between 1850 and World War I. Interviews focus on domestic and social life, agricultural and other work, education, religion, relationships with white and black neighbors, genealogy, and the gradual movement to more urban areas which began at the turn of the 20th century. The interviews were conducted by Zachary L. Cooper and Emilie Tari under grants from the Wisconsin American Revolution Bicentennial Commission and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Also includes interview abstracts.
