When Endesha Ida Mae Holland died on January 25, 2006, her passing was acknowledged with very little fanfare. It wasn't until 6 days later that many people knew her name. But if you had told an eleven year old Ida Mae that she would go on to do so much with her life that the announcement of her death would someday make into the pages of the New York Times, I think she would've wiped away her tears from her face and said “I know.”
