Book Description
This book conveys the spirit, will, vision and mission of Brenda B. Mosely and her husband, Eric., - in her own words. It takes us on a heartfelt journey that culminated in the Brenda B. Mosely African-American Doll Collection, which was established in 1979 with the first doll she purchased. Brenda's vision to open a doll museum to share her 3,000+ dolls, in celebration of the rich and ongoing legacy of African-American people, is exquisitely described. Speaking as though this vision was already a reality, Brenda wrote: "Through this museum we strive to promote awareness, knowledge, and understanding among all people while furthering pride, dignity, and inspiration in those who identify directly with this heritage..." "This museum is a tribute to the historical contribution of people of African descent. We want fellow human beings across the globe to know and never forget that here in this colossal American empire and past American century lives a great people of color who walked with much dignity and discernible effect to be true to themselves and their ideals of freedom against overwhelming odds and adverse circumstances." Brenda's earnest effort, spanning more than three decades, is represented through the most magnificent treasure of African-American dolls to be found anywhere. In addition, her annotation of African-American history, written to mirror her superbly vibrant doll exhibitive themes, tells the compelling stories of significant contributions and events that have faded to the background. Although Brenda passed away in October 2012, she lives through her vast doll collection and literature, which exemplifies her devotion to African-American culture, perseverance and prosperity. Her spirit and vision continues to thrive within the hearts and minds of her family and friends. More importantly, the commitment to see that her vision of an African American Doll Museum becomes a reality is braced by all who knew her, as well as those who come to know her. Brenda lives...She Is A Doll!
