This historical biography provides a scholarly analysis of the personal diaries of a young, freeborn mulatto woman during the Civil War years.In Notes from a Colored Girl, Karsonya Wise Whitehead examines the life and experiences of Emilie Frances Davis through a close reading of three pocket diaries she kept from 1863 to 1865. Whitehead explores Davis’s worldviews and politics, her perceptions of both public and private events, her personal relationships, and her place in Philadelphia’s free black community in the nineteenth century. The book also includes a six-chapter historical reconstruction of Davis’s life.While Davis’s entries provide brief, daily snapshots of her life, Whitehead interprets them in ways that illuminate nineteenth-century black American women’s experiences. Whitehead’s contribution of edited text and original narrative fills a void in scholarly documentation of women who dwelled in spaces between white elites, black entrepreneurs, and urban dwellers of every race and class.Drawing on scholarly traditions from history, literature, feminist studies, and sociolinguistics, Whitehead investigates Davis’s diary both as a complete literary artifact and in terms of her specific daily entries. With few primary sources written by black women during this time in history, Davis’s diary is a rare and extraordinarily valuable historical artifact.

In Sparking the Genius, Whitehead outlines the Critical Moments in American History that defined both the beginning of the early Civil Rights Movement-with the release of the Emancipation Proclamation-and the modern Civil Rights Movement in 1963. Starting with the Birmingham Campaign (Project C), Whitehead outlines, defines, and deconstructs five Critical Moments including the release of Dr. King's "e;Letter from a Birmingham Jail,"e; the assassination of Medgar Evers, the March on Washington, and the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church. With an introduction from Dr. Alicia Moore and Dr. La Vonne Neal, the book also includes an article on critical pedagogy by Dr. Conra Gist and a lesson plan for teaching the Woodson Lecture to K-16 students. Whitehead's 2013 Carter G. Woodson Lecture is both a challenge and a call to action: Will you answer the call to help spark the genius?

"e;I want you to be fully present in your own life, a change agent who is not afraid to dare to be who you are. I wonder though, my dear sweet child, how I can mother you when I have not been able to mother myself? How can I give you the tools to survive this brutal world when I have not been able to craft these tools to save myself? How can I stand up for you when my whole life has been spent trying so hard to stand up for myself? I am not perfect. I am flawed. I am pregnant. And in nine months, I will be your mother. And so begins Karsonya Wise Whitehead's first letter to her oldest son. For the past 14 years, she has written letters, poems, notes, and words of inspiration to her two boys, Kofi Elijah and Amir Elisha. She has documented everything from their first steps to their first encounter with racism; from their questions about race to their questions about falling in love. She has borne witness to their tears of joy and pain, their cries of frustration and discovery, and the difficulties that they have encountered growing up black and male. This is her love for them poured out onto the page, a document that traces her (and her husband's) journey to try and raise happy and healthy black boys in a post-racial America.

Dr. Kaye brings to the community the ever-sounding alarm, “Injustice over here,” and she does it with historical acumen and spiritual determination.— Rev. Dorothy S. Boulware, AFRO Special Projects EditorBlack people in America in many ways are facing unprecedented times: a 21st-century Civil War, a re-invigorated White nationalism, an attack on women, especially Women of Color, and a burgeoning fascism in American politics. Dr. Kaye confronts these challenges with power, passion and great intelligence. We need her voice.— Sean Yoes, former AFRO Baltimore EditorIn 2017, during the Black Lives Movement, Dr. Kaye began a three-year in-depth ethnographic study within Baltimore’s Black Butterfly neighborhoods, documenting and recording the stories and experiences of the community in a bi-weekly Opinion Editorial column in the Afro. Those stories were then shared on her radio show, Today With Dr. Kaye on WEAA 88.9 FM, in schools and communities across the city, sparking conversation and debate about who runs this city, who owns it, and who is going to inherit it.my mother’s tomorrow: dispatches through the lens of Baltimore’s Black Butterfly brings all of the editorials--which document everything from school shootings to Black Lives Matter, Trump’s first presidency to Black Covid Stories—together. These are the words and experiences of the people of Baltimore, written down and shared with the world so that they won’t be forgotten.
