After graduating from Atlanta University, Lucy Craft Laney (1854-1933) began a lifelong career as an educator and the founder of numerous institutions for the upliftment of freedmen and their children. In 1883 she founded the first school for black children in Augusta, Georgia. She was principal of the Haines Institute for Industrial and Normal Education for 50 years.

Great content from the words of Lucy Craft Laney to empower black women of her time. The unnatural condition of slavery had a lasting and ever destructive impact. Laney is urging her audience to not throw up their hands and allow the destruction that had been set into motion to continue unarrested. Here is a clarion call to leadership. I wish the reading of this text was a little less choppy, more fluid, less awkward. I wanted to be transported in Laney’s time and world, but all the stumbling and lack of fluidity made it difficult to ‘hear’ Laney’s voice in the delivery.

Wonderful content, could use a better delivery
