Abstract:

One of North Carolina's most famous social activists, Weil spent her life fighting for systemic change, from leading the North Carolina Equal Suffrage League in 1920 to advocating for labor reform and civil rights. In researching Weil further, the author of this article notes an unexpected find in her papers housed in the North Carolina State Archives--letter from her Jewish family living in Europe during the Holocaust.
