Book Description

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. From the late nineteenth through mid-twentieth centuries, these individuals fought discrimination as members of a larger movement of black women who uplifted future generations through a focus on education, social service, and cultural transformation. 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.

This app's intuitive controls and user-friendly layout have made audiobook listening a true pleasure. User-friendly brilliance! This app's functionality enhances my audiobook experience. I love the compatibility with iOS 16. The app runs smoothly and flawlessly. ListenBook has all the features I need. My go-to audiobook app! Good but not great. The narration was competent but lacked the extra spark that makes some audiobooks truly special. Still worth a listen though.

📱 Carrying my library in my pocket – this app makes every moment a reading opportunity! 📚👜 Audiobooks at my fingertips – this app's functionality is a game-changer. The automatic extraction of artwork and metadata adds a professional touch to my audiobook collection. Solid performance, but not outstanding. The narrator did a fine job, though their tone was a bit monotonous at times. The story itself was engaging enough, but I wouldn’t call it unforgettable.
