Extractions: AUTHOR, ACTIVIST, EDUCATOR Alice Moore was born in New Orleans of African American, Native American and Caucasian ancestry. She graduated from Straight College (now Dillard Uni versity) with an education degree in 1892. Three years later she published her first book, Violets and Other Tales, which was a mixture of short stories, poetry, sketches, etc., which would begin a multifaceted career as an author of many genres, including fiction, drama, and newspaper journalism. One of her several marriages was to the famed African American poet Paul Laurence Dunbar with whom she published several works of fiction. Her work included themes of New Orleans and Creole life, and also frankly confronted the race problem and the issues of "passing" and the "color line". A portion of her Cornell University master's thesis on Milton and Wordsworth was published in the highly respected journal Modern Language Notes in 1909. She was widely published in journals, gave many speeches, and wrote newspaper columns for the Pittsburgh Courier and the Washington Eagle . Her greatest contribution to the field of Black women's literature is the diary she kept in the 1920s and 30s. Being one of only two full-length diaries written by nineteenth century Black women, it addresses areas of sexuality, family, health, work, and writing; it documents the existence of an active Black lesbian network and her relationships with several prominent women. (The other diary in existence is written by Charlotte Forten).

Extractions: Autograph letter signed, to Alice Ruth Moore. Indianapolis, May 23, 1895. 4 pages. Paul Laurence Dunbar was a poet, short story writer, novelist, writer of articles and dramatic sketches, plays, and lyrics for musical compositions. He is most noted for his highly skilled and graceful use of Afro-American themes and dialects. Born in Dayton, Ohio, the son of a slave, he went to Chicago in 1893 to work at the World's Columbian Exposition, for which he wrote The Columbian Ode" in commemoration. His overnight fame as a poet came after William Dean Howells reviewed Dunbar's volume of verse, Majors and Minors , published in 1895. Alice Moore Dunbar Nelson (1875-1935) was born and educated in New Orleans, Louisiana. Nelson became a poet and a pioneer in the black short story tradition, and devoted her later life to education, journalism and political and social activism. After her graduation from Straight College in New Orleans, Nelson taught in the public school system of that city until 1895, and began to submit poetry to the Boston Monthly Review . The young, struggling poet, Dunbar, took notice of one of these poems, along with an accompanying photograph of the poetess, and wrote to Nelson, then Alice Ruth Moore, raising literary issues. Thus became a lengthy series of correspondence in which they developed a friendship that led to their marriage in 1898 (they separated in 1902).

When Congress approved a National Women's History Month Resolution in 1987, it underscored the depth of the contributions that women have made to this country throughout history. Each weekday during Women's History Month, our web site will spotlight a different woman with Louisiana ties whose groundbreaking efforts have made our country a better place by opening doors for all women. These pioneers and their courage, perseverance, insight, and leadership continue to inspire us all. I hope you will join us each day to recognize the merits of a few of the Louisiana women who have helped make our nation great.

Extractions: Mine Eyes Have Seen BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION Alice Ruth Moore was born on July 19, 1875 in New Orleans. Dunbar-Nelson graduated from a 2-year teacher training program at Straight College, now Dillard University. She later studied at Cornell University, Columbia University , and the University of Pennsylvania where she specialized in psychology and English educational testing. Throughout her life she taught in public schools. On March 6, 1898 she married the celebrated poet Paul Laurence Dunbar after a courtship by correspondence, and moved to Washington, DC. They seperated in 1902. The second of three marriages, she secretly married a fellow teacher, Henry Author Callis in 1910, but divorced a year later. Her final marriage, one which lasted until her death, was to Robert J. Nelson, a journalist, in 1916. Dunbar-Nelson, who was very light complexioned, often passed for white, and was sometimes frustrated in her relations with darker-skinned African Americans because of it. A complex woman who was a poet, journalist, playwright, and unpublished novelist, Alice engaged in intimate relationships with both men and women. The sonnet above was almost certainly written for one of her female lovers, Fay Jackson Robinson, a newspaperwoman and socialite whom Alice met during a trip California. During her life, Alice was a columnist for the Pittsburgh Courier and the Washington Eagle. From 1921 to 1931, Dunbar-Nelson kept a diary which chronicles her life and contains portraits of such friends and associates as Langston Hughes, James Weldon Johnson, Georgia Douglas Johnson, W.E.B. DuBois, and Mary McLeod Bethune. Alice Dunbar-Nelson died on September 18, 1935 of heart failure.
