- Title
"What a Chasm There Is Between Us": Charlotte Hawkins Brown and White Protestant Progressives, 1901-1952.
- Authors
Mobley, Kendal P.
- Abstract
The article discusses the struggle of Charlotte Hawkins Brown, the founder of the Palmer Memorial Institute, to gain a foothold, to reconcile the curious juxtaposition of intimacy and separation in U.S. racism, and to define friendship across the chasm. One of the most vexing questions that Charlotte faced in her personal life was how to negotiate friendships across the chasm of race in the U.S. Charlotte developed relationships across the chasm with many wealthy white women donors to build support for the Palmer Institute.
