Keckley moved to Washington, D.C., where she worked as a seamstress and dressmaker for the wives of influential politicians. She eventually became a close confidante of Mary Todd Lincoln. Several years after President Lincoln's assassination, when Mrs Lincoln's financial situation had worsened, Keckley helped organize an auction of the former first lady's dresses, eliciting strong criticism from members of the Washington elite. 606 $aAfrican American women$vBiography 606 $aWomen slaves$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aDressmakers$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aSlaves$zUnited States$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAfrican American women 615 0$aWomen slaves 615 0$aDressmakers 615 0$aSlaves 676 $a973.7092 700 $aKeckley$b Elizabeth$fca. 1818-1907.$0700359 712 02$aUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.$bDocumenting the American South (Project) 712 02$aUniversity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.$bLibrary. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457944603321 996 $aBehind the scenes$91368599 997 $aUNINA
