Sixty Forty-Four Suburban: Mattie Mae I

By Claude Thompson Evans

My mother, born Mattie Mae Johnson was a very reserved and quietly strong woman. It seemed as if she was on guard most of the time. She had to endure a lot of underhanded mistreatment and disrespect from some people including relatives, that would criticized her behind her back because she had 8 children (six out of wedlock) that she was raising on her own and attempting to protect them the best way she could. She was a poor woman that was commonly discriminated against by men as was many women of her era that were born in the 19th and early 20th century America in that man's world of it's time. As a Mississippi born country girl that was raised on the farm, she did not have a city slicker mentality but she did have basic human values for doing the right thing and minding her own business. She never took illegal drugs, pills, drank alcohol, or sought any form of mind-altering chemicals in her life. She was a what-you-see-is-what-you-get person that would try to smile when she could.
