Aunt Aida's Hand

1989
Lisa Jones, Alva Rogers
Stories about two Black women trying to piece together family legends and their cultural history. Neither women have mothers. And since the history of women is largely passed down by women, they must seek out other female relatives. Aunt Aida lives on a farm in North Carolina and is struggling to hold onto her house -- the repository of her family history -- though day by day she is losing her memory. Commissioned by New American Radio.
