Description
Frances Ellen Watkins Harper was a poet and abolitionist. She joined the American Anti-Slavery Society as a traveling lecturer. Harper was one of the first African American woman writers and her novels increased awareness of the rights of African Americans and women. Minnie's Sacrifice was published in 1869. A light skinned husband and wife learn that they had colored ancestors after having been raised as white. The subsequent choices they had to make are choices still being made in the 20th century in one form or another. (Please be advised that portions of the text are missing from the text and are marked as such.)
