She was born in 1911, and she was the daughter and wife of former slaves? Her parents would have to be in their 40s when she was born. Possible. And her husband would have to have been in his 60s - if she married at age 20 or so. While it is possible on both counts, I somehow doubt it is true. I believe the journalist just got carried away...
Reading the article... Her husband’s parents were slaves. She was born 1911. Say her husband was 20 years older, that would put him born in 1891 Her husband’s parents would have to have been 26 years older than her husband for it to work. Possible.
Say you had a man who was old enough to remember being a slave, would have had to have been born in 1845. Say they lived to be a hundred, that would be 1945. Someone old enough to remember them as an adult would have been born about 1925, and be nearly 90 now.
This lady must be one of the last people around who knew someone who was a slave. If there’s 40 years between her and her husband, her husband would have been born in 1871, and her husband’s father would have been about 26 years older than his son. Or 33 and 33 would work as well.
You are using White math and that’s racist.
