She Can Bring Us Home
Author: Diane Kiesel
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1612345050
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 408
Book Description
"Long before it became the slogan of the Obama campaign, Dr. Dorothy Ferebee (1898-1980) lived by the motto "Yes, We Can". An African American elite descended from lawyers, journalists, politicians, and possibly a white governor of Virginia, Ferebee was an obstetrician and civil rights activist from Washington, D.C. She was articulate, attractive, and effective as well as relentlessly self-promoting and tragically flawed. At a time when African Americans faced Jim Crow segregation, menial job opportunities and lynch mobs, Dorothy Ferebee advised presidents on civil rights and assisted foreign governments on public health issues. In high heels and a silk dress, she stood up to gun toting plantation owners, determined to bring health care to sharecroppers during the Great Depression through her famous Mississippi Health Project. She was president of the powerful National Council of Negro Women in the nascent civil rights era and later ran the 200,000 member Alpha Kappa Alpha black service sorority. A household name in black America for 40 years, known to presidents from FDR through Jimmy Carter, Ferebee was the media darling of the thriving black press. Ironically, her fame faded and her relevance waned as African Americans achieved the political power for which she fought. In She Can Bring Us Home: Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, Civil Rights Pioneer, Diane Kiesel brings Ferebee's extraordinary story of struggle and sacrifice to a new generation"--Publisher's description.

City of Norfolk Virginia Marriage Records 1850-1859

ISBN: 9780986117640
Category : Marriage records
Languages : en
Pages : 108
Book Description
I started this book where George Tucker's 1797-1850 book left off and actually there is a small amount of overlapping with the two books. There are approximate 1200 marriage records in this book. I used marriage bonds, minister's returns, and the marriage register along with the first form marriage licenses to complete this book. This book is different from all the rest because in this book I show the evolution of the marriage record. I show you what a marriage bond looked like, what a minister's return looked like and the first two form marriage licenses that came into being in the City of Norfolk. This book is the only book of the 5 that is in date order and includes an ABC index, where you find your ancestors name and then look him or her up by the date.
