by Elaine A. Edwards (Author)
In Lift Every Voice, Elaine A. Edwards provides a wealth of family photos and family stories that introduce real characters living real lives filled with tragedy and trauma but also layered with small triumphs. Each generation demonstrates steadfast resilience and patriotism through military service. From slavery to Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement, these stories make you laugh and cry. Elaine has collectively interwoven her familial lineage traversing from South Carolina, Alabama, West Virginia, and Michigan with nation-building stories about sharecropping, the mining industry and the automotive industry.
