Who is Ruth McBride Jordan?. A self-declared "light-skinned" woman evasive about her ethnicity, yet steadfast in her love for her twelve black children. "Mommy," a fiercely protective woman with "dark eyes full of pep and fire," herded her brood to Manhattan's free cultural events, sent them off on buses to the best (and mainly Jewish) schools, demanded good grades, and commanded respect.
