A Nickel and A Prayer by Jane Edna Hunter

I just downloaded "A Nickel and A Prayer" by Jane Edna Hunter onto my Kindle and am anxious to read this autobiography.  Jane Edna Hunter was born in Pendleton SC and grew up in a slave cabin on Woodburn.  She left and eventually made her way to Cleveland where she founded the Phillis Wheatley Association providing housing, training, and recreation to young black women.  She made some very wise investments in the stock market and ultimately became a millionaire and started a foundation to provide scholarships.
