to God" for sparing him through
two emancipations for Negroes.
Charley Scott was u and
living on a farm In Richmond.
Ga.. when President Abraham
Lincoln signed the first Eman
cipation Proclamation on Jan.
1, IMS. When President Lyndon
Baines Johnson signed the Civl
Rights Bill on Jaly !. 1964
Scott shonted. "Thank God for
it all."
Though Mr. Scott never had a
formal education of any kind, he
speaks flawless English. He says
living all these years and observ
ing others, has given him a choice
selection of words and how to use
them. He is also ableminded and
can remember as far back as 1857.
“1 was bom July 20. 1950 in Rich
mond. Ga., so the family bible tells
me,” he said. “It was in 1857 that
my father James William Scott wss
auctioned off for SSOO. But our
owner, Tom Scott had a change of
heart and bought him back.”
Times were really hard in those
days. Mr. Scott says he remembers
seeing Negroes burned, hanged and
shot for not doing chores assigned
on the farm. "We were tough,
though, and proud people," he con
tinued.
In 1861. the Civil war started and
in 1865, the slaves were freed. Mr.
Scott says his father was given two
hogs, two chickens, food for a year
and five acres of land to work as
his own. Though he dosen’t have
any hard feelings against anyone,
be :-use “God won’t let me be mad,"
Mr. Scott says the white people us
ually took the good back and kept
their supposedly freed slaves in
bondage.
“They didn't mean right in those
days but we kept on praying for a
miracle.”
In 1871. at the age of 21, Mr. Scott
went out on his own. He said he
11 v<-'* near Dawson, Ga., where he
worked at jobs in turpentine mills,
railroad, bed-laying and steel mills.
In between, Mr, Scott married
three times and had 30 children by
the three wives. Eight were by his
first wife, seven by the second, and
fifteen by the third.
