Were I but capable of interpreting to the world one-half the great thoughts and noble feelings which are buried in her grave, I should be the medium of a greater benefit to it than is ever likely to arise from anything that I can write, unprompted and unassisted by her all but unrivalled wisdom. Like all that I have written for many years, it belongs as much to her as to me but the work as it stands has had, in a very insufficient degree, the inestimable advantage of her revision some of the most important portions having been reserved for a more careful re-examination, which they are now never destined to receive. To the beloved and deplored memory of her who was the inspirer, and in part the author, of all that is best in my writings- the friend and wife whose exalted sense of truth and right was my strongest incitement, and whose approbation was my chief reward- I dedicate this volume. ![]()

She likes reading books with her maternal grandmother, Athena, who visits her regularly. Lisa isn't as strong as her parents, though, and can be pushed around fairly easily (especially by Taylor, though this is partly due to their close relationship). She is a friendly and outgoing girl, always skipping around talking to adults, other kids, and anyone else who will listen. She is very artistic she wants to be a painter when she grows up. She likes Barbies, My Little Ponies, swimming, and animals. Lisa is a bit of a tomboy, but not as much as Taylor. Her eyes also darkened of a bit and are more of a seaweed color than just "light green." ![]() Lisa looks relatively the same, though her hair is longer and darker. Lisa mostly takes after her father she has Percy's hair and eyes but Annabeth's facial features. ![]() She has long, straight almost-black hair and wide pale green eyes.

The stories of individual people what they were going through in the South, how they made the decision to leave, what they were hoping for and what they ultimately discovered upon arrival haven't been looked at from a national perspective. The social divisions within the cities themselves are an effect of the migration. The full effects of the migration are still being borne out to this day. ![]() ![]() Well, it was the greatest underreported story of the 20th century, in my view.
