ABSTRACT
Margaret Washington sent a card to Jessie from Tuskegee in January 1907 confirming receipt of a photograph: ‘[how] much like both you and Mr. Taylor these children are’. 1 That summer she travelled to Berlin to her stepdaughter Portia who accompanied her to America where Portia married architect Sidney Pittman. Portia Washington Pittman played Coleridge-Taylor’s arrangement of ‘Sometimes I Feel like a Motherless Child’ at the Metropolitan AME Church the following summer. 2
