Sitting across the table today is Hermina Glass-Hill - historian, writer, preservationist, sustainability advocate - a voice for environmental justice and human rights - Oceana's Georgia Senior Field Representative - and the foremost scholar on Susie King Taylor in the United States.
Hermina recalls what she felt when she first read Susie King Taylor's book back in 2009 - "I was shocked. I had traveled to Savannah for business thousands of times, and when I read it, I was like ... this is all about Georgia, Savannah, you know the Coastal area. I worked in the Civil War Center at Kennesaw State University - and I was like holy smoke, what?!?! I am Georgia born and bred and listen - I know everything there is to know about Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Clara Barton who started the American Red Cross - but I had never heard anything about Susie King Taylor, and she's from my home state. And I decided that I wanted to do something about this."
