- Description:
- Photographs of Ann Huggins taken at the Town Common, Greenville, N.C., accompanied by an oral history interview, for the Beyond Bricks and Mortar project. Ms. Huggins is a former resident of the Shore Drive neighborhood, that was destroyed in the 1960's to make room for the Town Common Park. She is holding a photo of the grandmother who raised her, Olivia A. Copper Floyd Malone. In her interview, Ms. Huggins discusses attending services and religious education at Sycamore Hill Missionary Baptist Church as a teenager in the neighborhood. She says it was surprising how quickly the redevelopment was accomplished, and points out sites in the surrounding area that used to be houses and African-American owned businesses. Although she was a renter, her grandmother, she says, took a lot of pride in her house and always tended the yard and planted flowers. Interviewer: Heather White.
