American Life Histories

70 folks, mostly students, gathered to hear and learn about the American Life Histories on October 21st at the Armstrong Center. Michael Price read "I am reaping in Tears what I sowed in Fun" a depression victim story, collected in Augusta Ga. by Mrs. Leila H. Harris, told by Mrs. Ada Radford. He also read "Bea The Washerwoman" collected by Sadie Hornsby in Athens Ga., told by Sarah Hill. Ella Howard read "Mrs. Brown" collected by Mrs. Joe P. (Carrie) Strogh in Atlanta, Ga.
It was interesting to hear the voices from Georgia's past and fun to compare both the participants' stories and the perspectives of the FWP collectors/writers.
