This film shows events in the family life of rural African-American families living on Palmour Street in Gainesville, Georgia. It illustrates basic concepts of mental health as they relate to family life and highlights some of the ways that parents influence the mental and emotional development of their children. Also addressed are the challenges for a household in which both parents work outside the home. Shots include: a health clinic waiting room, people dancing on the front porch, pea-shelling, communal outdoor clothes-washing with washboards and tubs, and other scenes.

Me too in Australia, I owned 1 pair of sandals, years at a time. Had to wait for my 2 older sisters to outgrow something , anything so I could get something, even underpants. We ate powdered potatoes dried beans and offel or sheep’s heads, cheapest meat at the butcher and fatty low grade mince meat day in day out. No bikes or scooters, cost too much. Both my parents worked and didn’t get home until after 8:00 pm most night. So we ran and chased and day dreamed and played and made mud pies. I loved it outside and had pet lizards . I knew we we poor so asked for nothing and kept to myself and my sister. Over 50 years later we are still best friends.

Lorrikus Thomas I was on a Joan Crawford kick recently, and I heard her say- prior to her adoptions (which NONE of us knows what truly happened, unless you were a fly on the wall)- that ‘hard times are good for people. It’s what makes you or break you’. So I really do concur with your comment. Love & Light✨✌🏼 Katherine

There is something about this that is almost refreshing, though sadly reading some responses from similar parts, think this is a kinda of series, though yes, I could be wrong about that series part but they do seem along the same lines with some of the same people, though know because of the year(s) these were done in, so many are down right hateful. WHY ??? Yes I know the so called reasons for hate groups and what so on though the reasons are so redundantly stupid that true intelligence has just well many words but to use 1 disappeared. Have been working on a couple things the last couple yrs, though my editing skills are null and void as anyone who reads this can tell. This little planet we call earth, home, us, the HUMAN RACE, so many have lost or been raised to, will use this to cover as basic as can, lost their humanity. No, it is not a new "condition" hate has been around as long as humans have, yet love has too. Tolerance, well to some would argue this point but it to has been around "forever". Will make the rest of these thoughts I am sharing as brief as I can and share just a couple 3. 1, hating just because of looks (skin, hair, eyes, handicap(s) scars, weight, etc) makes little sense as take an x ray, we look the same "color" different shades of grey, so that hate really is skin deep; all humans bleed red, why else can donating blood save lives; we never know reasons why 1 can be over weight, few it can be for a medical reason, others are struggling with life issues and or whatever other reasons that goes for both over and under; scars and other handicaps, can end up happening to anyone; we all need to breathe clean air, drink clean water, eat healthy food to live and we all pee and poop. 2, one of the biggest things people, humans fight about is their belief, some say they dont have any, though with a lot that say that, when really talking and yes can have a "healthy" argument with knowing they can agree to disagree without "bombing the world". 3, this one for some, might find it "funny" but Over the yrs, though if really thought about, can be seen though out time, but entertainment, yes going "Hollywood" including movies and tv (not reality crap, as no true imagination with it, and in a way sad an not surprising as the so called "they" do not want the rest of humans to have an imagination or real thoughts of our own, could go on) though will just go with mainly a couple movie series, one did have a tv spin, that would be The Terminator movies and show, showing that humans could "unite" despite all and fight to live, and Independence Day, both movies, though the 2nd actually shows and talks about how they, the humans chose to stop fighting with each other and to work together even if some ideas and things were not done the same and even disagree with at times yet CHOOSING to live with differences for the sake of all humans, yes, we, all of us, the HUMAN RACE, do we not have brains enough to use them, (though i believe there will be a time when it will "appear" that there is peace, but that will be before the "storm" and there will be no peace at the time for awhile). Sorry did not meaning to be preachy, just wonder if there are others out there that when watching us, the humans, see a person. When introduced, see their eyes, as I can see a lot about a person just by looking into eyes and then really listening to the way the speak to you, most people are good people, though I have looked into eyes that are well evil, my bio father, no one messed with him, only time anyone felt anything for him was when he had a migraine, he was a dangerous person and was because of him I lost my innocence and really did not have a childhood, Do know was blessed about 1 thing re him, was not sold, but i do have memories of meeting 2 that were sold and traded, and do know he or someone had something on the principal maybe another one or 2 in that elementary school....after eyes, I see another person, yes do notice the way light reflexes on them, but to me, the outside or what is seen never has and never will determine who is or is not a friend. Well if you read this a get what was trying to say/ask, as it is about 2 in the morning, my constant companion called pain is keeping me up for now, just very tired, thanks for reading and have a great day/night where ever you are.
