| Description: |
This is a tape interview with Mrs. Lina Roane, 912 Dobbs House Road, in Henrico County. Mrs. Roane, who will be 105 in January, is presently 104 years old. She was born in Durham County, North Carolina and has lived in the Richmond area since 1939. Mrs. Roane has graciously consented to share some of her memories of Richmond and Church Hill with us. She's a member of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church and she is a brave soul for allowing us to come into her home today after illness quite recently. This interview is being conducted by Akida T. Mensah, October 20, 1982, in the home of Mrs. Roane.
