I have not been able to further identify Lucy Joyner, who died while trying to deliver a baby on a dark country roadside.
Though this was 1903 , the short but powerful story stands as a testament to the struggles and strife of the African American woman, as depicted here, whom I will honor all the days of my life…including the life and death of Lucy Joyner.
