Lucreaty Clark, White Oak Basket Maker

Lucreaty Clark demonstrates the process of making a white oak basket. Florida folklorist Peggy Bulger served as the interviewer and photographer.

Folklife Program staff compiled photographs from these interviews to create a slide-tape show called It'll Be Gone When I'm Gone; that slide-tape show is the source of the images on this web page.
