Here, Hales places Cuney in the context of his family's generations and of his tumultuous times. He focuses on Norris Wright Cuney's father, Philip, a wealthy, politically active plantation owner and slaveholder in Austin County; Norris Wright Cuney, who, after Reconstruction, led the Texas Republican Party during those turbulent years and worked tirelessly for African American education and equal opportunity; and Norris Wright Cuney's daughter, Maud, who became actively involved in the racial uplift movement of the early twentieth century.Texas A & M southwestern studies ;no. 13.Southern family in white and BlackAfrican AmericansBiographyRacially mixed peopleUnited StatesBiographyAfrican American politiciansTexasBiographyTexasPolitics and government1865-1950TexasRace relationsTexasBiographyAustin County (Tex.)BiographyAfrican AmericansRacially mixed peopleAfrican American politicians976.4004/96073/00922BHales Douglas1951-1616215MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808742303321A southern family in white & Black3946814UNINA
