Uncle Frank was described as a long- time deacon at the Nazareth Baptist Church.
Otis Spencer at age 79 in 2016 recalls Uncle Frank picked up Cousin Robert and Otis to go to Grandma Adelaide's home and the boys would days like a week during the summer. They were about 5-6 years old. They would run around but there no children around. They did not go to see movies until moving to Warren, Ohio. Why were they there? Answer to get them from underfoot of working people. Grandma was glad to see these curious fellows. Robert was the son of her oldest daughter Josie and Otis was the son of her oldest son, Dock or Buddy. The boys were out looking. The view was fantastic view of openness -- water flowing like a big lake. There was a tremendous drop off. Robert was not quite so adventuresome as Otis who was the one who would get the spankings.
Aunt Vora and Aunt Julianne liked having the boys visit. The boys entertained each other.
Aunt Lillian lived within walking distance but they did not venture forth.
They ate bacon, eggs, cakes but on Sunday back at the farm they had ice cream.
Once the families moved to Warren, Robert lived in the country so Otis rode a bike to see him. They went separate ways. Otis had privately decided he would not work in a steel mill whereas Robert and all the Hughly boys went to work in the steel mills. Otis would see his cousins on visits back to Warren but it was clear they had nothing in common with Otis.
Otis had more in common with the four white guys he went to high school went who helped him understand math and physics problems.
Dr. Carleton was the teacher. Dick Hamilton, Tom Brewer, Richard Grate
and one other. He had known them from Junior High School.
Contrast that experience with 10th grade Literature class...what are you doing here? Then she wanted Otis read Mark Twain in dialect and he did.
He thought it was not appropriate to be singled out. He got racism and how people say "you don't belong here."
Ms. Heinz, 5th grade teacher, and Dr. Carleton treated Otis like he had worth.
He would see those four guys at high school reunions. He had never been in competition for their girlfriends. He was not viewed as a threat.
Vincent Manzo was the bully at Central Jr. High. He attempted to bully Otis verbally in 7th grade. Then he tried banging or pushing people into lockers. This happened to Otis just one time. As Otis tells it, the black guys were aware and they "jacked Vincent's ass higher than a flag pole" and so Vincent moved on. He became a dropout and went to work in the steel mill.
-----------------
Frank's entire work life was spent at the Opelika Cotton Mill.
(In 1900, local investors founded the Opelika Cotton Mill as the first textile plant in the city, employing 125. Attempts to expand the textile industry in Opelika continued for the next three decades, and in 1925 city officials were able to induce the executives of the Pepperell Manufacturing Co. (now WestPoint International) to construct a large mill just outside of the Opelika city limits.)
He was a quiet man, much loved by all. He did not smoke or drink. He and his wife Bertha had no children until they adopted a daughter after many years of marriage. Their daughter went to college.
Uncle Frank often drove the Spencer and Hugley children along with Grandma back to the farm from their weekly walk into Opelika.
While in Opelika, they might also stop at one of the two Black managed cafés that were on the same street and near the railroad tracks. They would order a Joe Louis Punch soda, a nickle, and a hot dog, a dime. Music was provided by the Rockola jukebox at each cafe.
Tuskegee was about twenty-five miles due west of Opelika with a population of about 10,000. Tuskegee is historically important. Also there was a hospital for Black folks.
Eleanor Roosevelt moved into the White House in 1933. She was much beloved by Black folks because they had support from the First Lady.
First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt was very interested in the work at the Tuskegee Institute, particularly in the aeronautical school. During a highly publicized 1941 visit to the Tuskegee Army Air Field, she asked to take a flight with one of the Tuskegee pilots. Before 1940, African Americans were barred from flying for the U.S. military. Civil rights organizations and the black press exerted pressure that resulted in the formation of an all African-American pursuit squadron based in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1941. They became known as the Tuskegee Airmen.
Although the Secret Service was anxious about the ride, Chief Civilian Flight Instructor Charles Alfred Anderson, known today as “The Father of Black Aviation,” piloted Mrs. Roosevelt over the skies of Alabama for over an hour.
Flying with Anderson demonstrated the depth of Eleanor Roosevelt’s support for black pilots and the Institute’s training program. Press coverage of her adventure in flight helped advocate for the competency of these pilots and boosted the Institute's visibility.
She declared over and over again throughout WWII that there could be no democracy in the United States that did not include democracy for Blacks. Repeatedly she insisted that education, housing, and employment were basic human rights which society had both a moral and political obligation to provide its citizens. The government must not only provide protection against discrimination, but develop policies which create a level economic playing field.
When white America refused to see how segregation mocked American values, she addressed this issue sternly and directly: "We have never been willing to face this problem, to line it up with the basic, underlying beliefs in Democracy." Racial prejudice enslaved Blacks; consequently, "no one can claim that the Negroes of this country are free." She continued this theme in a 1942 article in the New Republic, declaring that both the private and the public sector must acknowledge that "one of the main destroyers of freedom is our attitude toward the colored race." Furthermore, she told those listening to the radio broadcast of the 1945 National Democratic Forum, "democracy may grow or fade as we face this problem."
Another beloved figure was Joseph Louis Barrow who was born in 1914 in Lafayette, Alabama. He was known as Joe Louis and was an American professional boxer and the World Heavyweight Champion from 1937 to 1949. He is considered to be one of the greatest heavyweights of all time. He passed on April 12, 1981.
Grandnephews Otis Lee Spencer and Robert Hugley sometimes spent a few days with Uncle Frank and Aunt Bertha in Opelika. Aunt Bertha did not work outside the home. It was quite a treat for the two cousins.
Uncle Frank and Aunt Bertha were the "home base" for relatives who came from Warren, Ohio to visit family in Lee County, Alabama. When a family member encountered issues with authorities who resented visitors who had new cars, etc., it was Uncle Frank who straightened out any "misunderstandings."
When Rosie's daughter Lena died in 1972, the question was where would
Grandma Rosie live as she had lived with Lena in Warren, Ohio.
Grandma Rosie's eldest son, Bobbie Lee Hugley, who was widowed from the death of Aunt Josie Spencer Hugley, lived outside Warren, in Trumbull County. He had remarried. As it turned out, he died a year later.
It was decided that Frank would move his mother Rosie or Grandma to Opelika, Alabama to live with him and Bertha and their daughter Addie Joyce born in 1957.
Grandma died there in 1977 at the age of 96 years. She had lived a very full life. She had been a major influence in her grandchildren's lives.
