Hometown Happenings: Connecting To My Roots

Growing up in rural West Tennessee

Life growing up in the '70s and '80s looked different to me than it did for close friends of mine from the same place, same time, and same school system. Yet, I was oblivious to the differences until now.

Meet the Maggie Lipford Family

The video will give you more background on how our friendship came about, but everything is centered around one woman named Maggie Lipford from Humboldt, Tennessee. I learned even more about her in this discussion with her family.

Enjoy!

 

HUMBLE PIE

What you don't know about Jim Crow

by Sally Hendrick

Two little girls in rural West Tennessee are best friends but only in secret. Separated by a cotton field, their lives couldn't be any more different. Sudie's and Mabie's friendship, beautiful yet tragic, leaves a mark for generations to come.

Sally takes you on a journey back in time to the early 1900's Jim Crow South, as she imagines what life was like for her grandmother, Sudie, weaving together memories from her own childhood and stories from her family, even the black women who raised her.

Coming someday soon. Please enjoy this chapter for now.
