Wanda A. Hendricks, "Fannie Barrier Williams: Crossing the Borders of Region and Race"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 0252079590 | PDF | pages: 257 | 2.0 mb
Born shortly before the Civil War, activist and reformer Fannie Barrier Williams (1855-1944) became one of the most prominent educated African American women of her generation. Hendricks shows how Williams became "raced" for the first time in early adulthood, when she became a teacher in Missouri and Washington, D.C., and faced the injustices of racism and the stark contrast between the lives of freed slaves and her own privileged upbringing in a western New York village.
