Born in 1920--the daughter of a South Carolina sharecropping family--Josephine E. Jones arrives in New York in 1946. Armed with a high school diploma and a gift for cooking, she first finds work as a cook in private homes. Later, she becomes a Harlem activist and, in the 1960s, the first black supervisor at a Fortune 500 company. An Extraordinary Life: Josephine E. Jones is an American story, a Great Migration story, a New York story, a black family’s story, a mother-daughter story, and the story of a woman’s fight for creativity in the workplace.
