Olivia Larson- Hard Work and Self Medication on a Jim Crow Era Farm
When viewing an artifact for the first time, often it looks like nothing too special. However, after further investigation (and a lot of cleaning) something that once appeared insignificant can create an interesting story. One such artifact is a small … Continue reading
