I also love your site and will bookmark it to read more thoroughly and often. <br /><br />On the topic of Lettie Nolen Calloway, I can help some (she was my great-great aunt.) She was Thomas J. Calloway's wife--they were married in 1892. Both were involved with the Tuskegee Institute and are mentioned from time to time in Booker T.'s writings.

You have ...Thanks Robin for this fascinating post.<br /><br />You have peaked my curiosity on this subject. My Grandmother, Willa Leonard Hancock, graduated from Claflin college and was a teacher in Williston, SC before a series of events compelled her family to move to NY state in the early 1920's. All that I know is that she became a maid in Rochester.<br /><br />I wonder if the Colored Teachers Agency had any outreach in NY.<br /><br />I look forward to reading more on this!<br /><br />Peace & Blessings,<br />"Guided by the Ancestors"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
