Minnie Wright	A midwife	12:05
Mary Hebert	Do you remember who she was?	12:06
Minnie Wright	One of them, my midwife was Ms. Nisha Bennett. And next one been Ms. Jesse Larson. And the next one would've been Ms. Turner. I had three.	12:08
Mary Hebert	Three different midwives?	12:27
Minnie Wright	For each one of my children. I didn't have but three children. And that's why my children—My daughter's [indistinct 00:12:36] her is right now. I got two handicapped children because, I had her in the house. And the doctors says that's why people that had children in a hospital, because Lula born, the midwife let her head hit the floor and caused her to mash her brains a little, and that's what caused most of ailing her now right now. Kind of off in the head. She's forgetful a lot. But she's not afflicted.	12:29
Mary Hebert	It's just it—	13:10
Minnie Wright	Got hurt messed up in the head a little bit.	13:12
Mary Hebert	Now did these midwives deliver White babies too, or it was just within the Black community?	13:19
Minnie Wright	No, I think it was just in the Black community.	13:26
Mary Hebert	The White women went to hospitals. Now what happens if someone needed an operation or got sick or needed to go to a hospital?	13:28

Minnie Wright	Well, when they was her Summerton, most all of our people like the Briggs family and things like that, they had to leave town. They had to give up their job to take the jobs away from them and they had to leave town.	14:06
Mary Hebert	Did you know them?	14:21
Minnie Wright	I know the Bridge family because I'd been living not to far from them.	14:22
Mary Hebert	So you lived near them?	14:26
Minnie Wright	Mm-hmm.	14:27

Minnie Wright	At the time the case.	14:31
Mary Hebert	What kind of things happened that? Did people come and shoot at their house and things like that?	14:34
Minnie Wright	No, they didn't come and shoot at their house. They shoot—No, they didn't shoot at their house. They just take the jobs away from them. Because the Briggs family, he was working for the Sprouts at the oil company, and they just took the jobs. And they ain't had nothing yet to do, so they had to leave Summerton. Went up the road and trying to get work to do.	14:40
Mary Hebert	Did you have any part in that? Were you afraid to Yeah.	15:13
