  • From the desk of Miss Martha:

To those who are new to All God’s Children land, WELCOME! My name is Martha Holcombe Root and I am the creator / sculptor of the All God’s Children line of collectible figurines. My home has been in Alabama since I was born so much of my art has the feel of the rural south. I am a self taught artist and known as a southern memory folk artist.

  • SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTRuby Dee

The winner of our “Name this Child” contest is Daphane Riley. Our little school girl will be named Ruby Dee. Thanks to all of you who participated in our online contest. Daphane Riley will be receiving a free figurine of Ruby Dee.

“Essie” was among the finalists for the contest and was selected to name our second school girl. Unfortunately, the contest entry cannot be found among the others. Only one individual submitted this name with this spelling. If you submitted “Essie” please notify us at customerservice@allgodschildren.biz.

Both of our girls insisted on old fashioned names since they represent children from 1945-1955.

  • NEWS FROM THE HOOD (NEIGHBORHOOD) BY SELINA JANE

There are rumors that Miss Martha will be adding two new historical figurines before the end of this year. There is a lot of speculation among the crowd about who will be moving in with us. Bessie Coleman hopes it will be a pilot so she will have someone to talk about flying with. Bessie Smith wants a handsome inventor and Augustus Walley said he hopes it’s a western gal who likes soldiers. I plan to do some snooping around Miss Martha’s desk to find whose photos she is researching. Ooops!! Here she come, got to go!

Your NFTH reporter,
Selina Jane
