Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Heritage of Power is the first book to clarify the life of Mary Pleasant and to establish her importance to modern-day civil rights. Did the woman of mystery Mary Ellen Pleasant (now called The Mother of Civil Rights in California) and New Orleans' most famous Voodoo queen, Marie LaVeaux, really meet? Did Pleasant receive a "Heritage of Power" from LaVeaux, and if so, what was it, and how did it come about? Did Pleasant work with the abolitionist John Brown, and if so, what did she do? To document Mary Pleasant's civil-rights legacy, this work answers these questions, while demystifying the accomplishments of both women and employing the latest research. It establishes that Pleasant studied social leveraging techniques with LaVeaux to become The Mother of Civil Rights in California and supports Mary Pleasant's claim that she "was a friend of" John Brown.
