She recalls her schooling, travels and her political education. Fernandez grew up helping her mother, one of the first African American committeewomen in South Philly.

Best known as one of the co-founders of the long-running and beloved ODUNDE festival, Lois Fernandez shares favorite memories from a life well-lived. From audio interviews recorded and edited by Debora Kodish. Introduction by Dr. Caroliese Frink-Reed. Foreword by Oshunbumi Fernandez.
