I grew up in New Orleans in the 1950s, was in the Civil Rights Movement at UNC and teach social work. I'm the co-author of The Maid Narratives (LSU Press)
I played a limited role in a historic trial of a student prosecuted for performing an abortion on herself with a knitting needle. I published two articles
on this trial, one out today:

@ReesesBookClub I'm from N.O. also. Please check out our book: The Maid Narratives: Black Domestics and White Families in the Jim Crow South (LSU Press) I can send the book, unforgettable stories of women's relationships across racial caste [email protected]
@democracynow I can get you experts to interview on the toxic F-35s (nuclear fighter jets with combustible coating) possibly being forced on the city of Madison, WI that Burlington, VT is also fighting. [email protected]
@AmyGoodman_DN Madison WI is facing a big issue as F-35s are planned next to our airport, a threat based on the huge blasts unsafe for the poor children in the area. Quakers have written a letter opposing this. Please investigate these $100 million nuclear fighter jets.
@BJSgov I would like to see a separate publication for women as offenders, prisoners, and victims as was done years ago. Researchers need this information in one source. We need a breakdown for women on race/ethnicity in the statistics.
@OWNTV I've co-authored a book of stories from Mississippi that Oprah would love. It's The Maid Narratives: Black Domestics and White Families in the Jim Crow South. We cite Oprah Winfrey's Howard U. speech in the book; the Af. Am. authors conducted the interviews.
