She explores if her grandmother\u2019s birth reflected changing attitudes toward Black midwives, her great-grandmother\u2019s choice, or a luxury afforded to her great-grandmother by her great-grandfather\u2019s status as a Black coal miner. To analyze the decisions of the next generation of women who gave birth in her family, in this piece Wright struggles with the reasons her grandmother looked outside their community of midwives for maternal care and gave birth in a Jim Crow hospital in Lynchburg, Virginia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lisa E.
