Leo Frank's wife "was a force to be reckoned with," says author Ann Hite. She will discuss her book "I Am a Georgia Girl: The Life of Lucille Selig Frank, 1888-1957" at a Buckhead Heritage Speaker Program. The free event is open to everyone. Please register on the Buckhead Heritage website.
While much has been written about Mary Phagan’s murder and Leo Frank’s subsequent trial over the past 115 years, very little has given voice to Lucille Selig Frank and other women connected to the horrific events that took place between 1913-1915. Lucille was part of a mission to make Gov. John Slaton aware of the antisemitism being shown to Leo during his arrest and trial. She paid a heavy price for her courage.
