00:00:02.270 - 00:00:16.610

This is Roberta Perkin. Today is one thing. February the 21st, 2007. And I'm here interviewing

00:00:16.610 - 00:00:34.620

Mr. Rayner Johnson in his home in New York. And he's going to share with us his knowledge of the iron Hill Community, his life as the son of a owner, a diet Mill,

00:00:34.620 - 00:00:44.980

and his experience with diet mill, Mr. Rayner, Mr. Johnson, that thank you so much for willing me to take this time.

00:00:44.980 - 00:00:54.530

I'm already what we've just generally talk about. It South. Extremely interesting and I can't wait for the rest of it.

00:00:54.530 - 00:01:00.710

I'm going to ask you to recap a little bit what you've already told me and then just go for it and it sounds like

00:01:00.710 - 00:01:10.220

we're going to have a good time. Very good. Thanks for coming. I think it's very important that each generation to document

00:01:10.220 - 00:01:25.370

the folklore and the foods that they have encountered in their particular light path. Each. With that, I want to make very

00:01:25.370 - 00:01:36.920

clear that I am not a theory, but I have to live in Delaware all my life native born and have live within a mile and

00:01:36.920 - 00:01:47.170

a half of our new theme for my birth until now. Pretty much with it. You come in a lot

00:01:47.170 - 00:01:56.120

of things that have happened in the community. And I would like to share some of the thing for future study.

00:01:56.120 - 00:02:09.310

Or if we wanted to look up or power through labor. Let me try to guide them in a way of focal or information

00:02:09.310 - 00:02:22.440

that somehow find that they or someone bring it in me or they endeavored to that opinion. I brought that to my attention.

00:02:22.650 - 00:02:35.840

The black app or a coward or Afro-American community in the area. It probably very unique to

00:02:35.840 - 00:02:54.790

anywhere quantity code that birth inkling of a black person or a colored person did not come from Africa in the area that I know of on

00:02:54.790 - 00:03:10.750

the manner of the cow, more nickel that came in from Wieden. And I believe that even 38 had one person in that manner

00:03:10.750 - 00:03:32.300

to that of a color at that time. And playing a good death from Afro-American. I want to be careful in how I pray. Thee.

00:03:33.420 - 00:03:51.090

Nomenclature. As we look at it today. That put the roughly 50 years before the neck area of where I understand

00:03:51.090 - 00:04:10.600

that the black are involved. And I did that because I got to know the origin of where people are coming. And please feel free to

00:04:10.600 - 00:04:25.520

correct any warning when doing the garlic later on on how to do that. I think all people are of equal rank. And then at their ability.

00:04:25.520 - 00:04:37.720

Therefore that I do not want to look at any credit. In the way that I try to diagram what is happening

00:04:37.720 - 00:04:52.850

with William Penn find a land grant with the Welsh in 1701. We definitely know that there were a number of

00:04:52.850 - 00:05:13.710

other inhabitant other than the red man in the area. By the history of the Dutch coming in, the English coming up from Baltimore.

00:05:13.710 - 00:05:29.750

And the lack of documentation, which we generally will look at in the way of day and the English law was not present. When we came in.

00:05:29.750 - 00:05:42.710

We then brought in the English law. They've gotten the Magna Carta with it, gave a contract or API, which is a contract which gives

00:05:42.710 - 00:05:57.380

us a trace the history of what happened in the Bay Area through that and William Penn area. There is indication if there were

00:05:57.380 - 00:06:16.670

other color and haven't or inner marrying. Active period. But nothing that I know that if firmly documented in folklore. Again, family, part of the Lovecraft church

00:06:16.670 - 00:06:39.090

finding and got land or the weight retained, contracted through a Welsh track in 1701. Under that, the Jain family had some flour mill and all of the good.

00:06:39.190 - 00:06:54.710

Some type of RMIT in which they would take iron, charcoal to. Now that ended up in a open and forage mining at the time,

00:06:54.710 - 00:07:08.410

the black font for the foreign had not did not come in until about 201730. In that period of time there with two or three failure.

00:07:08.410 - 00:07:22.090

If all provide the document, five would be the share theta and phi. If a member of the family who were doing one or two.

00:07:22.090 - 00:07:39.980

Exactly. But one of the game, the family when I got into trouble, put their belly and aren't aren't black network or what have you

00:07:39.980 - 00:07:52.350

there with a from a, from a huge book. A theory in that book. Getting a bad grade, David door,

00:07:52.350 - 00:08:09.080

to given free land because the family did not pay wages for driving the wagon from Lancaster County.

00:08:09.080 - 00:08:20.960

That error. If we go back and look at the DB emulator and behind him, you'll think acre lot,

00:08:20.960 - 00:08:33.810

quote-unquote, play it in the community. Or gourd, Pleasant Valley, which is all of the core land and web for the free black or

00:08:33.810 - 00:08:53.580

colored community at that time. A lot. They are your goal right next to me and Japheth might take that

00:08:53.580 - 00:09:04.860

back into feeling about the period of time. If you look at the little colored church, right way, it

00:09:12.130 - 00:09:22.780

will corrode. Thank Daniel. Daniel, bye. Thank you. Yeah. If you go to the graveyard.

00:09:22.780 - 00:09:38.340

Hey, thank Jan and you'll find came family lived there and barely barely read it. You really need a high thing on top all the way down.

00:09:38.340 - 00:09:56.100

And it will protect the history of the area. We should update. A way that brings dignity of how the story of the community.

00:09:56.410 - 00:10:19.750

From there I live, the history effect. There were three Bye in the area. Again, there was a detriment in segregation in the way that free blacks were created,

00:10:19.750 - 00:10:42.760

in the way of going and all the general foolishly in the community. With that go or they became a neutral state. And the Civil War.

00:10:42.760 - 00:10:55.220

And was very instrumental in the Underground Railroad. You never knew which by the way, you were talking about for

00:10:55.220 - 00:11:14.120

which family or how thick that but between that one and that will war. We can go back to the record that they have and look at

00:11:14.120 - 00:11:27.580

the population or will or inventory that there. And you can tell that they're both a great day and a play, arrogant.

00:11:27.580 - 00:11:42.920

And it could vary within my thing, ulnar, or area of having both free play and also indentured for that pave the path each year. Though.

00:11:42.920 - 00:11:51.040

We have to be very careful in our terminology. But what I find very interesting as a young boy,

00:11:51.040 - 00:12:05.160

I don't want that the VIII have or they have to cross from district coach it. And it goes on newer two or three different name calling.

00:12:09.160 - 00:12:21.320

Had a barn owl back that have pretty much disappeared. Put the leg on and we're anchored in the wall of that form.

00:12:21.320 - 00:12:42.280

Part of the history fellow I was told when I asked the question, What is that thing that was back in that history is all go on.

00:12:42.280 - 00:12:55.070

We might find it in the rubble that we did from our work in the area. At the same time, they leave. And then down the road,

00:12:55.070 - 00:13:09.670

if they're left with the old urban prompted in a log cabin fan of free play or the Underground Railroad

00:13:09.670 - 00:13:27.920

and folklore with it. My first encounter with the black community with a very clever in which

00:13:27.920 - 00:13:45.290

the Williams family on old push, if we had a farm and live with William, go to market twice a week. And I live just down the road from them.

00:13:45.290 - 00:13:59.980

We had a couple likely to land and my family raised chicken and we would take the egg down to it before you actually pay them to Martha.

00:13:59.980 - 00:14:11.700

And when my mother path to value and I think I thought it was very anymore, I forgot to bring my dad felt to be a part of the time.

00:14:11.700 - 00:14:31.220

I thought that gave me a very high and they were very fond. If he wanted to know where did farm today, That's right angle clamp go haiku.

00:14:31.220 - 00:14:42.330

And I believe there were key from daughter and the daughter of filament in a grid. How where food was.

00:14:43.000 - 00:15:04.680

I lost track. The foreign William, I think it finally. But that was a very outstanding for the air and fuel on ray.

00:15:04.680 - 00:15:15.270

When were you born? Back in 1940. And now David. Year of age are going on 50 years.

00:15:15.270 - 00:15:40.820

Yeah. The next area really in the community were my my hand fought by it no, for 945. And in that period of time,

00:15:40.820 - 00:16:02.090

right after that, 45 too early to tell our Fourier. They hired black and help in the area who work with the other employee

00:16:02.090 - 00:16:21.180

in manufacturing flower, the liver. What is now about where the Turnpike information. Finally, a hot shot with the arm.

00:16:22.960 - 00:16:36.530

Will a Hagen. And as the tenant farmer will a hand would mitch could tie and lower Ka and Kb of Mary,

00:16:36.530 - 00:16:53.180

I think to again, before mythic time, he had a number of fun and funny. Both narratives are involved

00:16:53.180 - 00:17:07.140

in the Pleasant Valley area. A fabulous, another fabulous family, Chicago with an excellent primer. And we'll bring in, bringing

00:17:07.140 - 00:17:31.620

everything down to the low, to the ground. Carefully, gentlemen, we've hired about the time and Maryanne, hi. Charlie. Work with me up until I grade it 95.

00:17:37.690 - 00:17:53.750

For me for about 35 to 40 years. He was headed next thing manufactured and handled by their Marion con heard from working for

00:17:53.750 - 00:18:09.690

delivering that Cuffmerge like him and him blend of all we put file Python, grading and Marion path delay that 15 years ago.

00:18:11.890 - 00:18:28.580

Pneumonia very, very quickly. And we have led him over the year than me. Friendly. Reading that we would get. I'm going to ask you a quick question.

00:18:28.580 - 00:18:53.040

If you know how your mental life man with an ally and be okay with that. We came in to the number of wave.

00:18:53.040 - 00:19:13.220

One, buying the Congo family, the web family, the money family, and lead to money at one time off to work for miniature mining

00:19:13.220 - 00:19:22.550

with great guy OH, group, grow the large car. All we had equality, faith and the gar.

00:19:22.550 - 00:19:35.090

I probably remember that the GAR more than anything else at the time, well lit or not valid. Today that have a little credit

00:19:35.090 - 00:19:47.420

the impression of his wife. They lived on platform Valley Road. Now, It's an interesting thing about pleasant.

00:19:47.420 - 00:20:01.570

I wrote if you went south or from old bottom, apply for Old Post fill with Pleasant Valley. But if you went north it with OCS chapel work.

00:20:01.570 - 00:20:15.110

And it started with a way of separating the white community from the black community. The shape that the black community land for basically

00:20:15.110 - 00:20:36.820

couldn't now in London. And along, oh boy, we're pipe along, plug in values, the APA code, or go out Pleasant Valley Road to almost 40.

00:20:36.820 - 00:20:55.610

Failing for a rambled. There a white board in storey dwelling. On the right. The huge pile, well with that neck where myth to money,

00:20:55.610 - 00:21:09.670

money live and a firm work. What I found out later with a log cabin. And I wrote with the additional documentation,

00:21:09.670 - 00:21:33.230

we've we've halfway in between new capital or VoIP that have a dramatic Pittsburgh and y alone. Phyla is the first attempt

00:21:33.230 - 00:21:48.880

of putting in the theater canal by LOTRO. And come try we'll call that area the big money. Pompey had the tremendous amount of

00:21:48.880 - 00:22:05.720

history, not only in Area black, that's true. But all of the transportation of the area by page, stage coach.

00:22:05.720 - 00:22:18.990

When you think of it as in the theater when i and the first 310 by the probe of the thing. And they can then which the throat,

00:22:18.990 - 00:22:31.640

remember what the architect engineer, the capital. They offer the Philadelphia Water work. But he lived in the stone, handled,

00:22:31.640 - 00:22:42.480

all gone in the product the only proper to Yahoo with the old guard, a profit of one thing and brain think very much to live.

00:22:42.480 - 00:22:56.630

And I do not know the name that I've heard over the period. Right across from where the money was. And Adrianne or Glasgow in

00:22:56.630 - 00:23:12.050

or or whatever little money. And they with a beer garden and restaurant and had framework around it in which we ran a crayola

00:23:12.050 - 00:23:24.200

supported in the community as an area. The food where Marion cod, they period of time and he provided the needle for

00:23:24.200 - 00:23:36.410

those who are working. I like a bit baffled car that I've ever had. She they add it would. But that home and cooking.

00:23:36.410 - 00:23:44.750

I think that Eric five now, these were people who were working at the mail or just in the general area.

00:23:44.750 - 00:24:01.420

The money go and Todd work because there's too much. But the two other people that they came in in the community and their plight,

00:24:01.420 - 00:24:17.060

the Congo became a very influential family or the community. Land of Canaan willpower in Wilmington, serving a show for industry put upon grain.

00:24:17.060 - 00:24:30.140

I think they have a couple restaurant now on land and they're numbered. The I don't know that much about the web. Family, how they write

00:24:30.140 - 00:24:48.980

every day blur a very well folk and family there. And in the medulla that we had a mobile called surely big,

00:24:48.980 - 00:25:01.780

that was probably the best food leg around. And every once while, one of the houses with the loved community actually on medical.

00:25:01.780 - 00:25:16.460

And somehow the field, they'll just glue the little bit of stuff that's happening in the community. Mr. Money, excellent job

00:25:16.460 - 00:25:32.420

with the plague and through hid in the community to get to their goal. And they were quite active in the church

00:25:32.420 - 00:25:47.090

you and they're thin and lead. Three churches developed from within. I think rather than combo one of the members family than it did

00:25:47.090 - 00:25:58.440

a lovely glow glare and maybe one other little longer pipe if another never. I'm not sure that the whole community,

00:25:58.440 - 00:26:09.960

what they think they felt, that they had their own chickens, they had their own cow. And they were employed

00:26:09.960 - 00:26:35.410

very well in a number of different areas. According bad, the Thevenin free black lambda particle being destroyed by development.

00:26:35.410 - 00:26:49.640

And vary with how good. It is. Very important that we document a lot behind on Hill, needed to show that there

00:26:49.640 - 00:27:02.760

was a free community and that there was planted and that they could put potatoes in the whole area. And I think if

00:27:02.760 - 00:27:21.320

it's worth the work that you're doing, work that's very important. And we need to put the heel back at history, fight the way it was a,

00:27:21.320 - 00:27:39.100

quite a big topic to tell. Because they feel important story. I don't have a place in a mythical date area. Do that they're way,

00:27:39.100 - 00:27:59.420

I definitely feel like going back 100, almost a 100 years before the Civil War. The rough overview. What I think that this is green icon to.

00:27:59.420 - 00:28:16.530

At this point, I'm going to turn the pico question. Can you take him to death and K31 and cried? This is take one,

00:28:16.530 - 00:28:28.360

side two and on still leaking here with Mr. Rayner Johnson. Mr. Johnson, I'm going to kind of fall back a little bit from

00:28:28.360 - 00:28:37.670

your picture that you're giving of the general African-American community as you experience it and kind of focus on you a little bit.

00:28:37.670 - 00:28:50.410

I'd like to find out a little bit more about your family and gift. Kind of like start give me a picture of who your mother and father were.

00:28:50.410 - 00:28:57.680

Do you have any sibling? And you've mentioned I'm asking too much questioning, too many questions, but and you mentioned

00:28:57.680 - 00:29:04.130

your arm and your father her to thing to know. So we can kind of move on from that. And if you don't remember where I

00:29:04.130 - 00:29:18.800

did that for me, they tell me I was hatched. It'll make my mother would drive him. And he's 40 years of age before I came

00:29:18.800 - 00:29:36.560

along and my dad came to the Johnson family, really don't know a lot about foot down. They bother with the lower your diet. And over the years they lived in the Lower.

00:29:36.560 - 00:29:47.810

I have put it, grandfathers of the head Miller in my father and my hand work with not your diet and

00:29:47.810 - 00:30:03.290

my grandfather path to live with that large family on the job 35, same thing happen. Jeremy, find my parents

00:30:03.290 - 00:30:20.210

favorite Ray Ray, Raj, family, working dad at the XML and work your way up the hill. And mother did secretarial work.

00:30:20.210 - 00:30:38.270

Wilmington, did other odd jobs, large garden, chicken, and we were able to supply those very active in sheep

00:30:38.270 - 00:30:53.090

have to write when I say the fold that have football inclusion space for them to get before that year. My dad, my hand,

00:30:53.090 - 00:31:05.480

gold font for this to die if we wanted to retire or die. And in the following year, purchase the property in that area.

00:31:05.480 - 00:31:20.750

At the time that the dorm, World War II, the family or the defendant manufactured a lot of poetry for the community in the area

00:31:20.750 - 00:31:34.970

of the things we're mainly in egg production and supply Philadelphia in New York, in the air. And they were intermix with

00:31:34.970 - 00:31:51.230

the Afro-American community with ten different cultures. Even farther out back, even to the why fauna or pain

00:31:51.230 - 00:32:01.730

they're able to go out and have been bathroom enthalpy, lovely, golden for the poultry farmer should feel a little bit.

00:32:01.730 - 00:32:16.550

And then he rocked up and poor habit. I think they're even when it grew a whole that with all of the graduates that go,

00:32:16.550 - 00:32:29.900

I get that inequality, a unique thing. These were the thin, then you have the finished yet. And if it's hard to

00:32:29.900 - 00:32:46.160

define where the pin begin. And then please go back to the wavelength of Sweden, Finland, and inflate it

00:32:46.160 - 00:32:59.000

with the Lego could cut tree. In fact, good. They had a laboratory and they would come down. And the penalty of cutting down with the act

00:32:59.000 - 00:33:13.610

for him to America. Like 10 fits with very unique to collect the heavy band. The alien habitat in which

00:33:13.610 - 00:33:26.240

the pin could girdle the tree and kill the tray. And it's provided for planning the vegetable or whatever

00:33:26.240 - 00:33:39.440

they wanted to quiet it all. Gay and bi variate and cleared an area. And most people don't realize that in the area in the week,

00:33:39.440 - 00:33:52.850

hey, my word, whatever. Then after that, there was debate here that a lot that went very well

00:33:52.850 - 00:34:06.520

with the farm because they go to 335, the failure of the tree at that time. While the American chestnut with very well, with a very large crate,

00:34:06.520 - 00:34:24.930

they provide not that you could make flour and down. Good. Adaption to the kidney or 3D culture. Accurate. It broke away from it.

00:34:24.930 - 00:34:38.480

Hard to define exactly which culture. And because of the background with the NBN and all like the Afro-American coming in.

00:34:38.480 - 00:34:54.930

It's awful hard to define family tree, the local area, or much further back in history. Along with it.

00:34:54.930 - 00:35:08.760

We then grow. We went in manufacturing other thing that you don't actually pay for, the cocoa and institutional products

00:35:08.760 - 00:35:17.060

from the distributors fulfills very general no cards left. In the banking industry, people have been making flour.

00:35:17.060 - 00:35:29.510

They take one bag of flour. Me, for me. I followed that shop or top ref and the Hotel Du Pont pastry

00:35:29.510 - 00:35:50.600

her to an area roughly from Philadelphia. He farmer down the bone and all the way down dependent with our character with it. And I started working at about the age of 19,

00:35:50.600 - 00:36:07.190

going ahead and going. And then in 1959, dad passed away and I bought into the partnership.

00:36:07.190 - 00:36:28.350

And then we incorporated corporation, then acquired additional stock of the corporation. This year's pale. And that the doc late 1990s.

00:36:29.680 - 00:36:39.860

Okay. Okay. Okay. And then 990 1.5, that they to buy

00:36:39.860 - 00:36:51.240

the property and the intention was to put it into a working the thing and protect the water light at all for the battlefield,

00:36:51.240 - 00:36:59.720

the battle, push a bridge. To the day. We are still working with that challenge, okay? Okay.

00:36:59.720 - 00:37:12.800

What would your schooling? I think young person starting. Where did you go to school here? Well, I always knew archive folder.

00:37:12.800 - 00:37:26.810

I could not read or I ended up taking OB and Johnny and the Reader's Digest. Why Johnny Can't we got to offer special education.

00:37:26.810 - 00:37:45.680

With that, I have the cover screw. And hopefully further friendship. Got into riding lawn mower, Mendeley mowing, education.

00:37:45.680 - 00:37:56.390

Mm-hm. Mm-hm. Mm-hm. From that, I got into doing it in the poor age.

00:37:56.390 - 00:38:11.000

And there has been an excellent person by the name of workmen who got me into doing that. They think that the painting brushwork

00:38:11.000 - 00:38:26.480

and for my apprenticeship vanishes. From there. I went on through the universe, bought into the diet, no football for the guy that got the Ag Economics.

00:38:26.480 - 00:38:36.050

University ago, I went way one year to Cornell. Cornell in foreign exchange gold have to do with each other.

00:38:36.050 - 00:38:47.750

They would take a four year old high school in one year and get the accreditation of the New York region, which would love to go to

00:38:47.750 - 00:39:05.840

any college with you on that path? Okay. Paf VA, the IL, from what I was looking at,

00:39:05.840 - 00:39:22.310

that highly thin privilege to meet Conrad Hilton and help them build a hotel managed from Cornell. And I had a chance to go there.

00:39:22.310 - 00:39:32.650

But in the meantime, dad passed away in March. So I came back and operated while being a university DO

00:39:32.650 - 00:39:44.980

with minor within horticulture, animal has the literary crowd of the food distribution and Ag Engineering. And then I went back and did my math

00:39:44.980 - 00:39:57.830

to an economic marketing Think way. And a little bit awkward, but I haven't done anymore. When they said I had to take

00:39:57.830 - 00:40:13.010

a foreign language that with the word. And then I had worked at each diagonal. If an author has developed a couple other things.

00:40:13.010 - 00:40:25.530

In Lilly load with low pressure air, put patients in hospital, bed burning or fragile low touch with the comment.

00:40:25.530 - 00:40:53.410

That nature or a client blue area. And have had Yeah, Johnny johnny hit. Okay. And about but I think no one else has

00:40:53.410 - 00:41:04.990

so much the money. All the black community that work the diet now, where did they live? Some of them there than here

00:41:04.990 - 00:41:23.030

and the now iron. Mary and I think that for a while it badly, on the one hand palm, the most played in

00:41:23.030 - 00:41:40.100

the Pleasant Valley Community or help them? Purely can definitely from the Valley area, property within that area that you money lived it halfway.

00:41:40.100 - 00:41:58.190

A little old cathode if all the cargo with both the road or an old bomb or pipe that went live on capital. And I think maybe

00:41:58.190 - 00:42:11.120

one time belonged when he co-wrote. I'm not sure that that lifted from members of the Congo. Family did work at them.

00:42:11.120 - 00:42:18.750

Now, I know you mentioned earlier they brought grain there. I do not. Okay.

00:42:18.750 - 00:42:38.940

But I fell short on time when we needed help. That community came in health and also I had enough of it. Charlie, boy, healthy from Topeka.

00:42:43.210 - 00:42:57.690

Sounded like at growing, knocking, spend a lot of time working. What did you do for fun? For a number of years involved.

00:42:57.700 - 00:43:09.260

And know that I've tried to put it about putting our today feathered Dave, quickly. I usually try to take a windfall for good 2 or weekend.

00:43:09.260 - 00:43:25.160

Oh, sure. I did a tremendous amount of youth work in poor h given project. And I had fun than they are with the problem.

00:43:25.160 - 00:43:38.090

Developing a solution. And in the Johnson Administration, parallel with the crowd came in very heavily on camera, heard,

00:43:38.090 - 00:43:50.000

and draw out that they had to have everything on power thing for the thank you. And when you have a building built in the 1800,

00:43:50.000 - 00:44:07.480

not equipped for 950 forklift truck. Though, I ended up working in developing a solution for material panel that layer to low pressure.

00:44:07.480 - 00:44:21.010

Hello, craft movement and developed the pattern or the technology in the area. And then we could go back and have a good challenge of developing.

00:44:21.010 - 00:44:28.220

How do you feel attacked? Then? That would like a challenge. Recreation. Yeah.

00:44:28.220 - 00:44:42.260

Very interesting. Let me go back and ask your question about 1954. When the thing is that intuitively,

00:44:42.260 - 00:44:58.530

I guess in that area, what do you remember that time? And by that, I mean, what do you now of how it affected family?

00:44:59.080 - 00:45:12.750

Their children that went to other than iron Hill, Member, number one, I think the community

00:45:12.750 - 00:45:31.070

had already established that. They felt the pleasure. They raved around. They had a good religious faith, although they had somewhat

00:45:31.070 - 00:45:45.720

of a bay vegetation that's growing in which I do not know the wreath and have him of the new article desperate not take them.

00:45:45.720 - 00:45:56.380

At the same time. They took her quite the Valley Road at oval or the white. The white one would go.

00:45:56.380 - 00:46:11.140

And the kid, are they younger generation will have a wavelength that would firmly a hardship. But the community together,

00:46:11.140 - 00:46:29.230

I think tremendous, inspirational and unique here we have haploid did come forward and we'll figure out it'll crop Coupa for faith.

00:46:29.230 - 00:46:40.910

But it all comes together and eventually follow-through than I thought When they came into the New aren't cool gifts, cream flavor on, I

00:46:40.910 - 00:46:51.080

think a few years to three years later. We didn't have guard standing at the door like we had in Wilmington North like

00:46:51.080 - 00:47:08.510

you had south area, a hospital for a caution, integration. And from there, there are some things that were very,

00:47:08.510 - 00:47:19.870

very bright and that made it very clear that would probably be quiet for getting me through lower.

00:47:19.870 - 00:47:30.710

In the Afro-American community. They were getting a club that they had a play in the community. And I don't think many people think about

00:47:30.710 - 00:47:43.220

that in a way of performing and quiet coming together. I felt it in the quiet. I attended, and also very

00:47:43.220 - 00:48:00.320

active in the athletic program. Well, but we're really good at it from an academic program. And also go to

00:48:00.320 - 00:48:18.230

the pleasurable for what they wanted to do, was really lucky then prayed for secondary pray position. Actually a engineering or a profession.

00:48:18.230 - 00:48:35.050

Good luck. A good theory without having to do it. The other thing I found that there was a tremendous link

00:48:35.050 - 00:48:59.870

between the agricultural community and the bourbon or macro power of Wilmington, which here we are.

00:48:59.870 - 00:49:12.050

We have been down all the here. Give me everything in the core of my life, be my plantation father, the government, rather than day.

00:49:12.050 - 00:49:29.120

And, and if you're not going to be my father, I've got it roadwork that she and her pain reduction in years. The family, like the Congo family,

00:49:29.120 - 00:49:47.330

that might be in their community by even a human power or the barrier meeting the need other area. And then they go to therapy for a while.

00:49:47.330 - 00:49:58.760

I'm going culture. So you'd have to give them Valley a lot of credit for fatty highly sample

00:49:58.760 - 00:50:17.060

that we take for granted, that we still have a lot of credit for having people now doing professional, professional job by upper-class.

00:50:17.060 - 00:50:30.080

Because we've had enough generation plug for that generation. They're graded felt about any generation of which

00:50:30.080 - 00:50:44.670

took place in the path to that. And I think that's a wonderful question. Can go back to the classroom. Did you ever on

00:50:44.670 - 00:50:59.730

your black students being treated any differently as far in the classroom by teacher. Do you remember any of that?

00:50:59.730 - 00:51:14.520

Court? The human body has the ability to get negative. Just remember, most of my very favorite.

00:51:14.770 - 00:51:24.950

I did that. The negative that I could fit with, the ones that dropped out of school, never got there,

00:51:24.950 - 00:51:42.060

or didn't push that energy to perform. Or why do I need an education? And I cried for a work order, the February bar, which is wonderful.

00:51:42.060 - 00:51:56.190

They provide to be an area at all and down and felt the patient filled a third party for that group.

00:51:56.190 - 00:52:12.800

Especially if the doctor or a debit, or a teacher or an engineer. You're still doing a labour. And labour have or we pay by

00:52:12.800 - 00:52:30.760

the by the ability of employment. And I think of the valley have very much of how to develop the ability to target.

00:52:30.760 - 00:52:46.200

And I think that goes back to the pre in Florida back in February. After that flag of your three are quite satisfactory.

00:52:48.010 - 00:53:10.120

Would you be willing to drive from your map? A map of that area doesn't have to be fancy. Think about it. I think the map, the area. They play a crucial role.

00:53:10.120 - 00:53:29.140

The whether the relative volume of 5.1 thing they pod family other than a concentration of the area around the goal.

00:53:29.140 - 00:53:51.230

Going up to maybe the top of the hill across the valley. Live where they live in coming down a column for date by

00:53:51.230 - 00:54:11.300

or longer pipe to evaluate a probably a valid now, have the two what what family? I think you're back directly.

00:54:11.300 - 00:54:30.610

Probably the court held that you'd have accounting firm in the middle. Though we have a gap of information. But I think you get an accurate record of B.

00:54:30.610 - 00:54:44.830

And the property that and if you have today, paddle-like imaging. And right off of the computer with the population

00:54:44.830 - 00:55:00.870

and just click the name. And the date of ownership will have the depth map. And it will be an awful lot of re lifted.

00:55:02.080 - 00:55:12.670

Quite an education for me. I have thoroughly enjoyed be have anything else that I haven't asked that you'd like to share?

00:55:12.670 - 00:55:27.910

Yeah. The only thing is I think you filming thing, we're fine. And what had happened in the last month?

00:55:27.910 - 00:55:50.410

They grant for Halo refill. They covered roughly 93 or 94. And definitely I am working along with that. Go ahead and put up a new which

00:55:50.410 - 00:56:06.490

the mineral and in the end airy out about area inhaler. Every fight they aren't. We have four areas

00:56:06.490 - 00:56:22.340

in less than 20 acres that call upon the Indian history going back 10 thousand if they were told a minute after

00:56:22.340 - 00:56:36.700

roughly pie that they develop in the arrowhead. Refraining from up with your fade to Ohio, Illinois of the transportation trading,

00:56:36.700 - 00:56:52.220

Jeff, each metal has a clone DNA. You might be trade. We then have the Swedish, Finnish, Afro-American,

00:56:52.220 - 00:57:06.210

or I wouldn't say black people, by the way, the perfect history. We then have the documentation, free black history.

00:57:06.940 - 00:57:23.270

The early 1700, 17 February 2020. In the meantime, we have the history and a melting pot of the anion from a reference to

00:57:23.270 - 00:57:33.370

the black group of fellow that had come in with a number of ways. And the Swedish, Finnish,

00:57:33.370 - 00:57:49.520

and the mental imagery which author of five to one when you have this much culture. And each one of those areas need to be separated.

00:57:49.520 - 00:57:59.600

It called what is your date, rather than mixing it all together. And that we've been talking through and getting

00:57:59.600 - 00:58:11.870

cookies with a pair of telling a story. And the plug by area for work that you're doing. The documentation is so

00:58:11.870 - 00:58:21.520

important for a future generation. And we think that too. Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

00:58:21.520 - 00:58:29.340

Thank you. Different than our interview tape darn side, too.
