My Old Black Mammy

By James W. Elliott

Book Overview

My Old Black Mammy is a memoir written by James W. Elliott, which recounts his childhood experiences growing up in the South during the early 20th century. The book is a tribute to the author's beloved African American nanny, who he affectionately refers to as ""Mammy."" Elliott describes his relationship with Mammy, who served as a caregiver, teacher, and confidante to him and his siblings. The book offers a unique perspective on race relations during a time of great social upheaval in America, as well as a personal account of the impact that one individual can have on a family's life. Through anecdotes and personal reflections, Elliott paints a vivid portrait of his childhood and the special bond he shared with his Mammy.
