• Notes

  When she and her family were abandoned by her father, Samuel, in 1938, she carried the youngest child of the family as they walked from Texas to Arkansas, subsisting on berries and sleeping in fields. Some of the children would help their mother pick cotton along the way, to earn some money for food.
