Arriving in New York from South Carolina to work as
a cook in private homes in 1946, Josephine E. Jones–
a South Carolina sharecropper’s daughter–becomes
in the 1960s–a Harlem activist and possibly the first
black woman in management at a Fortune 500
company.
An American story, a Great Migration story,
a New York story, a mother-daughter story,
and the story of a woman’s fight
for creativity in the workplace.
