NEW: Houston man who was born on a plantation says his one wish is to get a birth certificate.
94-year-old James Dorsey says he started working on a plantation at age 8 in Shreveport, Louisiana.
When he became an adult, Dorsey says he began to have difficulty proving who he was.
"I went to the courthouse. I went to the school board. They were over everything, all the schools and plantations, what the school was on, they were over everything," he said.
"What does a birth certificate mean for me? I couldn't even pronounce what it would mean."
