A Forgotten Sisterhood
Emerging from the darkness of the slave era and Reconstruction, black activist women Lucy Craft Laney, Mary McLeod Bethune, Charlotte Hawkins Brown, and Nannie Helen Burroughs founded schools aimed at liberating African-American youth from disadvantaged futures in the segregated and decidedly unequal South.

Born free, but with the shadow of the slave past still implanted in their consciousness, Laney, Bethune, Brown, and Burroughs built off each other’s successes and learned from each other’s struggles as administrators, lecturers, and suffragists. Drawing from the women’s own letters and writings about educational methods and from remembrances of surviving students, Audrey Thomas McCluskey reveals the pivotal significance of this sisterhood’s legacy for later generations and for the institution of education itself.

I have prepared and attached a three generation genealogy of Mary's parents, Jabez McCall Camp and Mary Heaton. Uncle Wallace's work demonstrates a love, and admiration of his mother and family while providing an interesting slice of life and times of the late nineteenth century. Horses, unpaved roads, slipping on walkways, handwritten letters, scrapping the thick mud off your shoes as you enter a home, are all calling cards of the past, which are brought to us by Uncle Wallace's "NOTES."
