An African American obstetrician and civil rights activist from Washington DC, she was descended from lawyers, journalists, politicians, and a judge. At a time when African Americans faced Jim Crow segregation, desperate poverty, and lynch mobs, she advised presidents on civil rights and assisted foreign governments on public health issues. Though articulate, visionary, talented, and skillful at managing her publicity, she was also tragically flawed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFerebee was president of the Alpha Kappa Alpha black service sorority and later became the president of the powerful National Council of Negro Women in the nascent civil rights era. She stood up to gun-toting plantation owners to bring health care to sharecroppers through her Mississippi Health Project during the Great Depression. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA household name in black America for forty years, Ferebee was also the media darling of the thriving black press. Ironically, her fame and relevance faded as African Americans achieved the political power for which she had fought. In \u003ci\u003eShe Can Bring Us Home\u003c\/i\u003e, Diane Kiesel tells Ferebee's extraordinary story of struggle and personal sacrifice to a new generation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Kiesel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1612345050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781612345055\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Potomac Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 408\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.32h x 6.15w x 1.28d","brand":"Diane Kiesel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989383217407,"sku":"9781612345055","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b075bba6-8f63-4d80-b183-7b48196c1a71.jpg?v=1683299181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/she-can-bring-us-home-diane-kiesel-9781612345055","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
