Abstract:
|
"This thesis focuses on Savannah’s black history through the collection and study of audio recordings of interviews of African-Americans over the age of 80. It studies what attracted families from nearby cities to move here, along with what inspired natives to continue living and raising families here between 1920 and 1970, despite the city’s strongholds of racism and discrimination. Furthermore, this thesis studies the values and survival tactics—pertaining to the physical, mental, and spiritual—passed down from their formerly enslaved grandparents to their parents and then to their own children."
