Summary Note

Margaret recalls many black maternal families coming from the South to Evanston, IL, for work. She describes the many black women she met and talks about one in particular, Florida Mitchell, who worked for her mother Adelle. Florida was raising money for her church, and to her delight Margaret's parents gave a substantial amount. (Length 2:56)
