Prisilla Mitchell, 1614 NW 5th Ave., was born in Macon County, Alabama, March 17, 1858.
"Y' see, ah was only 7 years old when ah was 'mancipated. I can 'member pickin' cotton, but I didn't work so hard, ah was too young.
"I was my Massy's pet. No. no he wouldn't beat me. Whenever ah's bad or did little things that my mother didn't want me to do and she'd go to whip me, all I needed to do was to run to my Massy and he'd take me up and not let my mother git me."
This is a sample of the attitude that very many have toward their masters.
