I am a FAN of Jackie, so I'm looking forward to reading this book.

@Love to Run  I had never heard that story, Wow!  I find reading biographys a fun way of learning history.  Just because history was not kind, we need to know it and understand it so that we don't repeat it.  I may read that book.

@KKWA I absolutey agree. History should be known and told in its fullness no matter how uncomfortable it makes us. Enjoy!

I’m a little confused. The article states that the dressmaker was Ethiopian-American but that her grandmother was an enslaved person?

I just posted in this August's reading thread an historical book I finished about her this morning.  It was a wonderful book.  Nothing in the book about Ethiopia.

Jackie's mother was a piece of work. Horrible woman

money, money, money and more money . all she cared about.

Shame Jackie just lived to be 64. Stress, is what 

contributed to her early death is what I think.

Being too thin and men didn't help either.
