At last, Mother Mary Elizabeth Lange is ready to go online and ready for shipment. As the other All God’s Children black history heroes before her, she is handcrafted with pride in the USA.
Despite being a black woman in a slave state before the Emancipation Proclamation, Elizabeth Clarissa Lange, a Caribbean native, used her own money and home to educate children of color. In 1829, Lange professed her vows and took the religious name of Mary. At a time when African American Catholics could not aspire to religious life, Mary Elizabeth Lange became the first superior general of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the first black Roman Catholic order. She and her sisters would educate and evangelize African Americans. Their ministry also provided a home for orphans and the elderly and nursed the terminally ill.
We are pleased to announce that the “How It’s Made” show featuring All God’s Children (resin figurines) is scheduled to air on the regular Discovery Channel on Thursday, February 28, 2008 at 8:30 pm EST.
I know we still have active local clubs out there so let us know what you are doing. We want to hear from you.
ATTENTION COLLECTORS: Send a photo to share your display ideas with other collectors. We will put them online for others to see and get new ideas.
