Bill Traylor: Chasing Ghosts
2019 · Documentary · 75 min. · United States
Bill Traylor was born around 1853, on an Alabama cotton plantation owned by John Traylor. Born into slavery, Traylor spent most of his life as a farm laborer, continuing to work and live near his birthplace for another six decades. At the height of the Great Depression, now in his 70s and too old to farm, he moved to Montgomery to look for work, and there, after a period of doing odd jobs, Bill Traylor found himself homeless, and he began to draw.
