GRIOT ORA MAE LEWIS MARTIN (1918-2005)
Mother of Sr. Dr. Oralisa Martin
Newspaper columnist and poet Ora Mae Lewis was born March 29, 1918, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Lewis’s writing was both widely praised and feared. “The First Christmas” short story earned her a prize from the Times Picayune in 1927. Her “A Letter to the Archbishop” in the Sepia Socialite on July 23, 1938, was instrumental in ending the segregation of black Catholics during the International Eucharistic Congress in New Orleans that year.
Her serial story, “Black Hands and Yellow Cheeks,” published in the Sepia Socialite was literally waved on the floor of the United States Senate by Louisiana Senator Allen Ellender during his tirade against black voting rights in January 1940. He argued that books like this work by Mrs. Lewis would inspire Louisiana African Americans to register to vote.
Then in August 2000, she released SEEDS in the Wind, a Historical Novel (1565-1865) which was her final major work.
Ora Mae Lewis Martin, mother of Sr./Dr. Oralisa Martin, died in New Orleans on September 28, 2005 at the age of eighty-seven.
