We are looking for those members of the community who have memories or direct knowledge of the plantation and the people who have lived there or were in some way connected with it. We welcome recommendations of individuals who could contribute their of Mulberry Grove as well as any comments or ideas that could enhance this project. Interviews will be done by a graduate student who has been assigned to this project by GSU. Appointments will be set, and the student will travel to interviewees. The interviewee selection process is anticipated to last through the summer, and interviews are scheduled to begin in the fall of 2015.
