I am proud to say that Dr. Yellin was my English Professor at Pace University.

Just learned about her from my son who is in the 5th grade and is reading the book (Letters from a Slave Girl) on Harriet jacobs.

Harriet Jacobs ...a very strong and highly intelligent blackwoman born into a tragic & abominable period in america's history.

she was an incredible freedom fighter of strength & wisdom. who will be honored by myself, with a sculpture or illustrative art,

that her legacy be always remembered.

i wish i could have met her and struggled with her. but that struggle goes on today, even in 2009 and she inspires me to keep on fighting ... because ignorance & racism is not dead in america.
