Fountain Hughes' Amazing Memories

Og is amazed by the memories that are shared with listeners in our new clip, Voices From the Time of Slavery, Part 2, from the American Memory Project. In an interview with Fountain Hughes, a 101 year-old former slave, conducted by Herman Norwood in June 1949, Mr. Hughes matter-of-factly recounts some youthful experiences that almost seem beyond comprehension. Og highly recommends that you listen to this poignant short interview. To view more memories, you might want to visit American Memory Project.
