Description
Beginning with an enslaved foremother born in the 1830s, this narrative traces the history of four generations of the Tysons, a Black family with roots in North Carolina’s Piedmont region. It is not the story of famous individuals, but of ordinary, decent, industrious people like those who were among their neighbors in two historic Black communities, Winston-Salem’s Depot Street and Greensboro’s Nocho Park. Through family stories, photographs, and historical information, the narrative reveals how Tyson family members created productive lives in challenging times. Their stories illumine ways in which the circumstances and events of 19th and 20th century Black history influenced the lives of ordinary Black people.
