Side 2
00:04--Watson recalls his summers spent with his uncle Dr. Sharp when he was a youth in Seneca, SC, talks about jobs commonly open to black men and women, shopping in Seneca (furniture, general, and clothing stores), the flu epidemic of 1917-1918 (his family was not affected), and his family's church affiliations with the Baptist and Church of God denominations.
11:18--Some of the ministers he can recall from his youth are Reverend Hicks, Dr. Starks, Dr. Clark, and Dr. Hancock. St. James United Methodist and African Methodist Episcopal were other important denominations locally bedsides the Baptists. He details his education: Catholic school, public school (Oconee County Training School), Seneca Junior College, Morehouse College, and Benedict College. He goes on to detail some of his grade school experiences before recalling aspects of his parent's education. His grandfather Sharp was a white man; his grandmother was perhaps of mixed Native American/African ancestry. In his grandfather's day, men were the head of the household.
