Savannah's Black First Ladies, Vol. I by Pamela Howard-Oglesby
Praise for Savannah's Black First Ladies The women profiled here] are valuable role models for women, young and old, to admire and emulate. It should be required reading for any participants in a program working with young women in Savannah and the surrounding area. -Otis S. Johnson, PhD., Mayor, City of Savannah I found it to be informational, invigorating, and inspiring. It gives me the courage to take the high road in spite of challenges. -Annie P. Wimbish, Ed.D, Superintendent of Schools, Hattiesburg, MS These compelling stories are inspiring and will serve to encourage women, especially little African-American girls, to embrace their personal power and forge forward. -Bernetta Bryant Anderson, President, Hudson Hill Community The phrase never been done before wasn't a roadblock for the women profiled in Savannah's Black First Ladies, Vol. 1. This remarkable collection of short biographies recognizes African-American women in Savannah, Georgia, who were pioneers in their chosen professions. You'll meet educators, police officers, politicians, doctors, and others who went where no one had gone before; in many cases, their professions were closed to women. The trials and tribulations that these women endured to fulfill their calling is a true testimony of their perseverance and strength. They chose not to give up or give in, but to press forward and see their dreams come to fruition-and in so doing, helped open doors for the generations of African-American women that followed.| SKU | Unavailable |
