A compelling reconstruction of the life of a black suffragist, Adella Hunt Logan,
blending family lore, historical research, and literary imagination. Born during the
Civil War into a slaveholding family that included black, white, and Cherokee forebears,
Adella Hunt Logan dedicated herself to advancing political and educational opportunities
for the African American community. She taught at Alabama's Tuskegee Institute but
also joined the segregated woman suffrage movement, passing for white in order to
fight for the rights of people of color. Her determination-as a wife, mother, scholar,
and activist -to challenge the draconian restraints of race and gender generated conflicts
that precipitated her tragic demise. Historian Adele Logan Alexander-Adella Hunt Logan's
granddaughter-portrays Adella, her family, and contemporaries such as Booker T. Washington,
Susan B. Anthony, Frederick Douglass, George Washington Carver, Theodore Roosevelt,
and W.E.B. Du Bois. Alexander bridges the chasms that frustrate efforts to document
the lives of those who traditionally have been silenced, weaving together family lore,
historical research, and literary imagination into a riveting, multigenerational family
saga
