Lessie B. Randle

In the quiet depth of a woman who has lived for 111 years lives a story that stretches far beyond the limits of human longevity, a story that rises out of the ashes of devastation and refuses to fade even as generations come and go. Queen Mother Randle is not simply a name attached to the past; she is a living archive, a vessel of memory, and a spiritual emblem of the unbroken lineage of Black resilience in America.
