I learned a lot of Mississippi history from my grandmother. She was born in Mantee, MS during the Great Depression. She lived in a 1 room house with 3 sisters. She would tell me how they had dirt floors, an outhouse, a well, and so on.. They went to school in a one room schoolhouse that catered to all grades, When she wasn’t in school she was picking cotton. After her passing I regretted not writing down the stories she told me. It’s history that will be forgotten in time.

She lived a truly fascinating life. She went from having basically no rights to becoming the manager of K-Mart and later Sears. She raised 4 children by herself while dealing with an infamous ex-husband that worked for the MHP during a very dark time. Because of that, even after he left she would find hand written death threats, get bricks through the window, and the kids had to check their closets before bed to make sure no one was hiding in there.

I could write a book just pertaining to her marriage and divorce. She got countless calls asking to use my late grandmother’s name and likeness in movies and television. She always said ‘no’ because she didn’t want to tarnish the family name. After he left my grandmother didn’t sign the divorce papers for some years and he was illegally married to two other women at the same time. I could ramble about this stuff forever, but I’ll spare you.

My point of this post- Ask your elders about their lives. Record it. Write it down. These are pieces of history that may be forgotten otherwise.

I’ve got a unique piece in my collection for sale. I’ve done a decent amount of research on it and there was a very limited amount of these pressed for a charity in Dade county Florida. The benefit raised roughly $200,000 for Partners For Youth in 1981. This is a pretty rare one. VG+/VG+. Media would be NM if it weren’t for a couple of small hairlines. No seam splits. Extremely light shelf wear. Plenty of pics upon request. Can provide audio grading as well if seriously interested. Asking $250 or best offer.

Going all the way back to the old IBM high contrast monitors it’s always been neon green on black. I’ll admit that it looks really neat, but I’ve always been confused as to why they chose neon green over white. Is neon green actually higher contrast than white on a black background?
