Aaron Turner. March 26, 2014. Dessie Mae Workman (b.1938). "During my lifetime, I cleaned houses first and then later on I became an LPN nurse. I was born in a place that is no longer on the map, called Utley, Ohio. Right, off route 329, right where I live now. The Hulbert side, the mother’s side of my family, they left and went to Canada and then they migrated back to this area to get out of the slavery. Black and African American is the only branch we've ever identified with, but we do have a little bit of Indian (Native American) in us. One thing that I do remember is when I was, I don't remember what grade I was in, our class went to Athens to go to a movie. Course I got into the movie alright, but then when I stopped, coming home to eat, we set down at a table and everybody had their order taken but me. And that was hurtful. It was just a thing known that this place you knew not to go in. In Athens County about the only place a black family could comfortably sit down and eat was at the greyhound bus station."
