Description

Mathilda Beasley made many contributions, monetary and physical, to ease the burden of poor blacks in Savannah, especially black children. History attributes her with many titles. She was a spiritual and educational pioneer of her race. After these weeks of research her life remains largely a mystery to me. I know through reading and talking to others that the same has been true for my predecessors. Following is an account of her life as I know it thus far. In this paper her first name is spelled as she signed it.
