INFEMNITY™ Arts and Culture News

While writing my own article for Wikipedia, it dawned on me that it would be nice to be able to link to my parents’ pages from my own page. So I wrote pages for my father and mother; and since my mother’s father was a notable African-American surgeon, and one of the first black graduates of the Yale School of Medicine, I went ahead and wrote an article for him. Little did I know that I was setting myself up for frustrations that would dominate my week.

Yes I am still harassing Wikipedia to post my article about my mother, the late Anne Gamble Kennedy. I was delighted to find in my research that her correspondence with famed contralto Marian Anderson has been preserved and can be found in the University of Pennsylvania Library, in the Marian Anderson Papers.¹
