Cheryl W. Brooks introduces us to another Hidden Figure during Black History Month : Madame Sara Spencer Washington

In this week's episode, I chatted with Cheryl W. Brooks. She is
an author, professional singer/songwriter, and editor. She
introduces us to another Hidden Figure during Black History
Month: Madame Sara Spencer Washington through her book
Golden Beauty Boss: The Story of Madame Sara Spencer
Washington and the Apex Empire’.
Tune in to hear her journey of how she learned
about this hidden figure while researching her debut
book, Chicken Bone Beach: A Pictorial History of
Atlantic City’s Missouri Avenue Beach. Cheryl’s first
book was nominated for a 2017 Literary Award with
the Schomburg Center in New York
City, used in classrooms at Purdue
University, and referenced in The Oxford Handbook of
American Folklore and Folklife Studies.
