Who were big ma's parents

Big Ma, Cassie's grandmother, tells stories about Cassie's grandfather, Paul Edward, who was born a slave two years before the Civil War. Taylor herself heard stories from parents and relatives about the former-slaves in her family and used those stories as inspiration for her novel. Her Grandfather was hard working. He scraped enough money together to by the land the Logans now own. During the time of her grandfather, it was virtually unheard of for Blacks to own their own land.
