Overview
When an industrious slave named Willis Hodges Cromwell earned the money to obtain liberty for his wife, who subsequently bought freedom for him and their children, he set in motion a family saga that continues today. Now, in Unveiled Voices, Unvarnished Memories, his granddaughter, Adelaide M. Cromwell, documents the journey of her family from the slave marts of Annapolis to achievements in a variety of learned professions. The voices gathered here offer readers an inside look at the formation and networks of the African American elite and at the public and private world of individuals who refused to be circumscribed by racism and the ghetto while pursuing their own well-being.
