Mrs. Shirley James,
Publisher/Editor,
The Savannah Tribune
Dear Shirley,
I want to thank you and
The Tribune for the item
about me in the paper's
March celebration of
Women's History Month.
It is an honor to be
included in this series among
the African American women
who have been involved in
various ways in the history of
our people and our country.
It is also good to relate
our history to that of Black
Mountain College, that
extraordinary place and its
extraordinary people.
It’s long overdue recog
nition is spreading rapidly,
through the creative efforts
of dedicated persons in the
thriving arts community in
Asheville, N.C.,
Thanks also for the link to
Spelman, Savannah State
University, and Holy Spirit
Lutheran Church,
The Tribune is a strong
voice for achievement and
progress in the Savannah
area, and I am proud of your
role in it.
Sincerely,
