Betty Massenburg: A Sharecropper’s Daughter

“I wrote this book to celebrate mom’s homecoming to Murray-Massenburg Elementary School farmland and to offer my intimate and firsthand reflections of her. Elementary school students, teachers, families, and diverse communities will find this book informative and easy to read. The story reveals the remarkable life journey of Betty Massenburg from a sharecropper’s daughter to educator, businesswoman, activist, and major influencer in Durham City Schools.”
