Stratford Hall worker traces roots to slavery like Haley

Ulysses S. Joe Payne a 69 year old Stratford Hall employee and descendant of slaves recalls his family history at the Robert E. Lee birthplace. He notes his grandfather William Payne worked as a freeman after emancipation and recounts plantation life and local history tied to Stratford since the 1720s. Payne remained rooted at the site except for brief stints in the Navy and Army and a 1958 meeting with President Eisenhower.
