Description
Photograph of Francine Taft taken at the Town Common, Greenville, N.C., accompanied by an oral history interview, for the Beyond Bricks and Mortar project. Mrs. Taft was a member of the Sycamore Hill Missionary Baptist Church. She sang in the children's choir, belonged to the BTU, and was involved in summer programs at the church. Her husband, Joseph Benjamin Taft, Jr., was also a member of the church. Although she and her husband were not in the area during the redevelopment period, her husband's mother was relocated from 100 West First Street to West Fourth Street. She reminisces about the close-knit neighborhood and the many friends she had in the community. Interviewer: Heather White.
