The "African American Women Leaders...from the Underground Railroad to the White House" tells the stories of brave, unapologetic women, "sung and unsung," who have been the foundation of everyone who claims ownership to the new experiment, America the beautiful. From 1619 to today, the African American woman has toiled the soil, reared and nurtured other people's children, provided financial security for the family and supported other's dreams while she quite often sacrificed her own. She is truly a hero, and every living person today stands on the shoulders of these phenomenal African American women. This book brings to life the complexity of the African American woman and the vast talents that reside in her that are often unknown even to those most close to her. Her strength, tenacity and intellectual prowess reveal the comprehensive nature of her inner self as she makes this place better for all of us. This account of the contributions of the American American women to the world is a lifelong dream of its conceptual author, Dr. Florence Alexander, to ensure that these women are never forgotten.
