Mother Givens asks to hear herself on audio

Description

Mother Givens asks to hear herself on audio during an October 2013 interview.
Mother Givens is interviewed in her home by Matt White and Eric Crawford as part of fieldwork for Gullah: Voice of an Island. She owns the home where her grandfather was enslaved, and she recalls peices of the stories that he used to tell her. With some persuasion from Crawford and White, she sings a few old songs, such as "Stay in the Field," "In Jerusalem," and "Ole Ship Maria."
