Meggett said he lived in a neighboring cabin that was part of a community when his family worked on the plantation in the early 20th century. The cabin was recently dismantled and shipped to Smithsonian's new National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. (Stephen Morton for The New York Times)
