Written on the wall in front of me was a quote from Julia Woodrich, born in 1851 and enslaved in Louisiana: “My ma had fifteen children and none of them had the same pa. Every time she was sold she would get another man. My ma had one boy by her moss that was my missis brother’s child. You see every time she was sold she had to take another man. Her had fifteen children after she was sold de last time.”
