The African-American Black History Month 2021 theme is The Black Family: Representation, Identity and Diversity. Join us as we feature three authors with reflections on this theme.

Edwina Wright Davis has been writing for more than six decades. She received a Bachelor's Degree in English from Bennett College and a Master’s in Broadcast Journalism from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. For a time, she followed her passion as a writer in WFMY’s news and advertising divisions.

Edwina’s greatest source of inspiration and encouragement came from real-life conversations with great writers whom she knew and respected. These included Dr. Jonetta B. Cole, Dr. Maya Angelou, Dr. Pearl Cleage, Dr. Coretta Scott King, Actress/playwright, Ruby Dee, and Greensboro’s own Ms. Linda Joyce Vaughn. Lessons in Mercy is her first published novel.
