Viola Davis Explains What She Meant By Former Plantation Ownership Story
Alyssa Bailey
|August 12, 2020
Article takne from ELLE.
Davis spoke to People’s The Jess Cagle Interview show in 2016 about how she grew up unaware of the plantation’s grim history.
“I wasn’t on it long, because I was the fifth child, and so we moved soon after I was born,” she started. “I mean, I went back to visit briefly but still not aware of the history. I think I read one slave narrative of someone who was on that plantation, which was horrific. 160 acres of land, and my grandfather was a sharecropper. Most of my uncles and cousins, they’re farmers. That’s the choice that they had. My grandmother’s house was a one room shack. I have a picture of it on my phone because I think it’s a beautiful picture.”
Despite the poor living conditions, Davis said she and her family still found joy living there. “[There was] no running water. No bathroom. It’s just an outhouse,” she said. “But my mom says that the day I was born, all of my aunts and uncles were in the house, she said, everyone was drinking and laughing, and having fun. She said she ate a sardine, mustard, onion, tomato sandwich after I was born.”
“I love that story,” Davis said. “It’s a great story to me. It’s a great story of celebration in the midst of what you would feel is a decimated environment, but you could see the joy and the life that can come out of that, because it’s not always about things, you know.”
