(R) A DRAMATIC DIALOGUE BETWEEN DR. LARISON AND SILVIA DUBOIS
Presented by the East Amwell Historical Commission.
In an extended interview in 1883
Silvia Dubois, then nearly 100 years old, told her life story to Dr. Cornelius Wilson Larison. How much of Silvia's life is history and how much is folklore we cannot be sure, but it remains a fascinating view of slave life and the life of the uneducated free black in the North during the 18th and 19th centuries.
