| Tyler Perry, writer of stories about the make-believe "Madea" likely has never seen a script about real Black feminists like Mildred Robinson who not only was born in slavery, escaped to be free and experienced loss of a worthy husband but also organized and operated a rooming house for "the least of us." For at least two generations born after the Civil War, African-American youth were utterly dependent upon extended families more often than not spread across several states. Women like Mildred were the salvation of a race struggling to be hold, with men dying unexpectedly in the struggles for life and living free. Her story is yet to be written about tribulations and triumph in the City of Brotherly Love for Sarah Lawrence College and other bastions for training writers about matters that ought to matter. Mildred Robinson was not only the grandmother of Sarah Robinson and great grandmother of Lewis Robinson Marshall Martin, ... but also the grandmother of Albumis who apparently was a favorite cousin to Lewis who named his son "Album" in his memory.
