Samples of my work

Ms. Kaye pays homage to the children and their parents depicted in selections of late 19th and 20th-century racist children’s literature, to serve as a reminder to the public today of the very real bigotry that became part of the traditional education system for over a 100 years. Kaye is a longtime journalist and business consultant, with her Masters in Library and Information Science.
