Synopsis

This book details the life of a charismatic and courageous African American woman, scholar, mother, and activist for racial justice. Deborah Theado grew up during the civil rights activism of the 60’s, attended Oberlin College during the anti-war protests of the 70’s, became a member of the Air National Guard, and then served as a member of the American Friends Service Committee’s Peace Education Committee in Ann Arbor, Michigan. She was a member of the group of African Americans who persuaded Friends General Conference to examine the racism in its midst. Finally, she was a student of Africa and the women of Africa. Pursuing doctoral research, she ended up being evacuated from Angola, Africa during the civil war. She ultimately completed her Ph.D. research in Kenya, on the shores of Lake Victoria. How much more would she have accomplished if her life had not been cut short by cancer?
