Alma Woodsey Thomas: Painter and Educator

by Charlotte Etinde-Crompton

Born in Georgia at the end of the nineteenth century, Alma Woodsey Thomas defied society's expectations for black women. She did not marry, have children, or work as a domestic.

Readers will learn that she wouldn't win public acclaim for her art until later in life...
