Join me in learning more about Raleigh, North Carolina dressmaker Willie Otey Kay. Born March 17, 1894 she lived to see the start and end of the Jim Crow era; regardless her work dissolved racial lines and both black and white clients would commission her to create them a gown. Sewing well into her 90's she passed away in 1992.
