Transcript

Jo Ann Dozier: We lived out in the country, Scott鈥檚 Station, which is just
about ten miles from Marion...but I know when we lived out in the country, we
had this old mud and it was just black and the Black Belt has that prairie mud.
You get it on your shoes; if it gets dry it鈥檚 just like cement. It just
doesn鈥檛 come off. So that鈥檚 what the Black Belt鈥檚 always meant to me was
that mud. My dad was a merchant. He had a store, just a general store out in the
country and had cows and pigs and all that good things, chickens...I would help
my mother in the garden pick the vegetables and all that kind of thing. Just a
good country life. But then we moved to Marion I guess when I was in the fourth
grade. My daddy got rid of everything out there in the country and we moved to
Marion and he had what you call a rolling store. He would go up in the country
with just general store, you know, merchandise...Marion has always been a nice
place to raise children and grow up, you know, with your neighbors and friends.
