20. And they "chopped cotton"

Hoed and weeded the rows. That's backbreaking labor and is STILL done by hand, or certainly was in the 1960s. How do I know this? I had some Black neighbors who had moved up north from Greenwood, MS. One of the women (she was then 19) told me that her first job was chopping cotton and when she got her first paycheck for a week's work, it was $25 and she thought they had paid her "too much". This for 8-10 hours a day, 6 days a week, in the brutal hot sun. Even in the 1960s, that's slave wages. She didn't know anything better.
