Autorenporträt

Freda Bein Muldoon is a retired lawyer and law teacher. Her previous publications include several law review articles and a textbook compilation of legal cases and materials. In 1987, the author was asked by Florence Victoria Lucas, her Godmother, to write this biography. Part One of this book tells how, in 1959, Florence Victoria Lucas, then a successful lawyer and leader of the civil rights movement in New York, reached across racial and religious barriers, to rescue one troubled white teenager (the author of this book), from a dark street in the middle of the night, providing her with her first home and family. Part Two is a chronological biography of Florence Victoria Lucas' life, her struggle through poverty to gain an education, her leadership of the civil rights movement in New York, and her many professional and personal accomplishments, all as culled from Florence Victoria Lucas' home office papers.
