About Me

My photo
Elizabeth Eames Roebling
Santo Domingo, District National, Dominican Republic
Born and raised in Greenwich Village and educated by the Quakers - which perhaps accounts for it. I have an ongoing concern with the wounds of slavery. I am an unreformed and unrepentant idealist, believing that life, indeed, could be better if we put our minds, spirits, shoulders and backs into it.
