The Periphery

Grandma Baby's Story (1932-2022)


Listen Later

This week, the Periphery releases a conversation recorded in 2018 between Afi and his great grandmother Baby (Maggie Pittman, 1932-2022). At just 4'9, Grandma Baby was an elite cotton-picker (best in the family), an ardent student (she integrated her schools), an early-stage technologist (i.e., career secretary), a homeowner, a fighter, and an inspiration to multiple generations of her Black community. It is our pleasure to share a part of her story in honor of Black History Month.
