| Otis Hayward | Georgia Black Fishermen |
On April 5, 2010, Dr. Dionne Hoskins interviewed Otis Hayward as part of the Georgia Black Fishermen oral history project. Otis comes from a long line of independent, nomadic commercial fishermen on both sides of his family. In his teenage years, he worked as a striker on his father’s boat and traveled far from his small hometown of Thunderbolt, Georgia—five miles southeast of Savannah, in Chatham County—to follow seasonally migrating shrimp along Florida’s Atlantic coastline. |

| Rebecca "Miss Sula" Bowen | Georgia Black Fishermen |
On June 15, 2011 Dionne Hoskins interviewed Rebecca Bonds Bowen, better known as “Miss Sula,” as part of the Georgia Black Fishermen oral history project. Miss Sula was born in 1946 in Pin Point, Georgia—a small Gullah Geechee community founded in 1896, eleven miles southeast of Savannah, in Chatham County. Growing up, Miss Sula was often the primary caregiver for her younger siblings because her parents would leave early in the morning to either catch or pick crabs. |
