Description

Martha Ann Miller may never be ready for the rocking chair, but she has been on the rocking horse of life for 101 years, and her account of the ups and downs will take you on an adventuresome, fulfilling ride from the fields of southern Indiana near the Ohio River to the heights of political activism next to the Potomac River. A shy Hoosier farm girl and an excellent baker at a young age, she parlayed her talent into a free four-year scholarship to college. She credits that Depression Era boost to her education as the fulcrum that lifted her high in later life. She worked tirelessly and unsung for better education for children in her growing community of Arlington, Virginia, and today those schools are among the best in the nation. As a teacher herself, she defied the “Massive Resistance” in the Commonwealth of Virginia to Supreme Court-decreed public school integration by welcoming two black students to her junior-high classroom when other teachers had refused, and the principal had resisted. Oh, and she did a lot of other valuable and interesting things on the way to celebrating her centenary. She is tenacious, she is not letting go, and she hopes you take to heart her lessons as you read this chronicle of her exceptional life.
