As an adult, Thornton Dial recalled the corrupt sharecropping system in which landlords advanced his landless parents’ farming supplies, but later cheated them to perpetuate their exploitation: “They kept on farming and didn’t ever come out of debt. The Man advance people from one end of the year to the other end. Every year the Man always say, ‘you just about come out of debt this time but didn’t quite make it.”’
