Exploring the legacy of the Harleston family, this narrative delves into their complex heritage as descendants of a Southern gentleman and his slave. The story highlights their triumphs against racial adversity, enriched by insights from family archivist Edwina Harleston Whitlock. Key figures include a renowned portrait artist, a black classical composer from the 1920s Parisian scene, and the founder of the Jenkins Orphanage Band, which played a significant role in the evolution of ragtime and jazz music.
