Celia Black
For this project, I have learned about Celia Black. Celia Black was an African American slave in Tyler, Texas. This interview took place in October 11, 1974. During this, she was interviewed by Elmer Sparks. Even tho Elmer Sparks interviewed Celia, Celia's daughter was also there with her mother.
One of the facts that I have learned about Celia is that when she was younger she rode big old oxen with her family. The ox she preferred to ride was called Corley and the other one her family owned was called Let. Celia said that her grandfather was known to go everywhere with his oxen. Letting all the children ride the both of them.
Another fact, is that she was born behind a rich white women.
