This home was the guest home of the house featured in the books Women of Color daughter of Privilege“ by Kent Leslie and “Ambiguous Lives” by Adele Alexander. There was an HBO special based on the two works.






For those of you not familiar with the works, here is a synopsis from” The Booklist” (excerpt):



Woman of Color, Daughter of Privilege is the life of Amanda America Dickson, the wealthiest black woman in the post -Civil War South. Using legal documents, court records, and interviews with Dickson's descendants, Leslie pieces together a story that provides a surprisingly detailed account of life in the nineteenth-century South. Born of a slave mother and white father in 1849, Amanda America Dickson was raised amid sumptuous surroundings in the plantation house of her father, David Dickson. Legally a slave (until emancipation in 1864), Amanda was able to avoid the consequences of this status due to the prestige of her father. When David Dickson died in 1885, his will revealed that he had left the majority of his property and riches to his daughter. Dickson's white relatives fought the will all the way up to the Georgia Supreme Court, where eventually it was deemed valid, guaranteeing Amanda's independence and wealth. Leslie, an assistant professor of women's studies, has done an admirable job of research and compilation. Her account explores not only the issues of race, class, and gender that Amanda America Dickson faced, but also the impact on and reactions of both the black and white communities. Kathleen Hughes
