Above, Aunt Lucy Chiviss. If you look closely, you’ll notice this page says "Wednesday" and "Sunday" and the caption type is pied. Someone was certainly having a bad day. Below, the story of Lucy Chiviss. Yes, I know slave narratives can be problematic and the WPA project on former slaves is a subject unto itself. Still, this a vivid story. The type is barely legible, unfortunately, but the story is compelling. Her description of being sold in the slave market is worth the struggle it takes pick out the words. If I get time I’ll keyboard it into the blog. The Times said she lived at 14th and Clayborne, but I’m having trouble locating Clayborne and I’m wondering if it was an error.

Notice that she’s called “aunt”. That’s not a term of endearment. During that time, older African Americans were called “aunt” or “uncle” as a way to avoid using “Mr. and Mrs.” as signs of respect. That’s why “Aunt Jemima” and “Uncle Ben” are still offensive to many African Americans.

Also, note that Lucy was sold to a “Col. Cassius Clay” of Kentucky. That’s the former name as Louisville, Kentucky native Muhammad Ali.
