About this listen

 Award-winning Civil Rights advocate Mary Frances Berry sheds new light on the fight for reparations. Callie House, an ex-slave who led the fight, founded the Ex-Slave Mutual Relief, Bounty, and Pension Association in 1899. Defying conventions of race, class, and gender, Callie led the organization in an attempt to petition the government for the pension promised them as freedmen.©2005 Mary Frances Berry (P)2006 Recorded Books,LLC Biographies & Memoirs Historical Law United States Women Civil Rights
