Excerpt
"Mary Lena Street Lewis Tate (1871-1970) was a black woman born in the engulfing aftermath of American slavery with all of its attendant bruises and scars...she spent most of her early developmental years in the rural South with little opportunity to obtain a formal education. The influences of slavery, ethnicity, gender, and little formal education were not unique...Unique is the fact that this black woman would be endowed with an unquenchable determination to fulfill her destiny...as a fully capable and qualified preacher of God's Word!"
