On July 14, 2010, Dr. Jolvan Morris interviewed Lucy Grant as part of the Georgia Black Fishermen oral history project. Lucy Grant was born in 1930 in the small coastal community of Sherman Bluff, Georgia in McIntosh County—30 miles south of Savannah. Fishing was essential in her family and community and throughout her married life. Her husband was a shrimp boat captain and they had three children. However, the family connection to fishing did not extend to her two sons, who hated fishing and chose to enter the military instead.
