She is but two generations away from slavery. The vividness of her memories stretches back over seven decades. She remembers the joys and sorrows experienced by her parents as they expended tremendous effort to feed, clothe, and shelter 14 children. As Grace has grown older, she appreciates now, even more than when she was a child, the strength, tenacity, and determination displayed by her parents.
Grace was born in 1929, in Five Points, Alabama, the fourteenth child of Lessie and Mollie Todd Smedley. Grace finished high school and attended Alabama A&M. After college, she returned to her hometown and briefly taught school before traveling to Detroit, Michigan, where she married her long-time boyfriend in 1951. Grace has two children and has been widowed since 1989. She currently resides in Tuskegee, Alabama.lihat lebih sedikit
