“I thought we were rich, but we were poor.” Ledell Moore shares her life story

from Black Oral HIstories of Beaufort County

Born in 1933, 92-year-old Ledell Moore grew up in a small two-room house with her five other siblings in Blounts Creek, NC. She never wore shoes in the summer, and when the only pair she got for school in the fall wore out, her dad would use hog rings to patch them up. And, despite the hard times, there was always food on the table for the family of eight. Ledell thanks the Lord that she is still living, cooking, and able to take care of whatever she needs on her own. Hear her story and others at blackoralhistories.blubrry.net.
