Title

Black Hawk: A Mystery of Africans and Indians

Subject

At least a hundred Spiritual Churches sprung up in the wake of Mother Leafy Anderson. As a woman of African and Indian ancestry, she mainly served the black community as a faith healer, medium, and spiritual leader. She inspired her congregants to bravely face, endure, and fight racism by channeling the spirit of Black Hawk.
