DescriptionInterview conducted by Robbie Coker for the New Jersey Historical Commission's New Jersey Multi-Ethnic Oral History Project. The interview is with Hazel Fields, an African American, who was born in New York City in 1899. She and her mother later moved to Plainfield, NJ in 1906 when her father died of pnuemonia. Both her parents were slaves in Virginia, although Ms. Fields says she herself never experienced discrimination until she taught home economics in North Carolina. The interview touches on many aspects of 20th century life in general and also being an African-American in the United States during that time. Ms. Fields also discussed customs, rituals, food, organizations, publications, and other aspects of the African-American culture.
