Holland is a teacher, author, civil rights leader, and lecturer. In 1971, she authored and published the book Uncle Remus in Rhythm and Rhyme, a collection of poetic folklore narrative stories relating to children and adults alike. She brings forth the stories “Brer Rabbit” and “Brer Fox” in a way that tickles the mind and soul. Her creativity in translation of stories from black history to poetic folklore brings some concept of relief that some slaves must have had as they listened to the stories, stories not read but narrated by parents and friends in a way that brings smiles in even the worst of times. She got her inspiration from her father, Henry Alien Laine, who also was an educator and orator. One of his most popular poetic books is titled Foot Prints.ver menos
