Although Martha McCabe was born and raised in Albany, New York, her family roots can be traced to Texas as far back as the early 1800s. After completing a rigorous formal education that included a graduate degree in U.S. history from Brown University and a law degree from Boston's Northeastern University Law School in 1974, she moved to Deep East Texas, where she worked as a civil rights lawyer in private practice for 11 years at the region's first public interest law firm, Daves, McCabe & Hahn, in Nacogdoches and Tyler. The voices heard in her new legal thriller, Praise at Midnight, echo from those East Texas years, as McCabe worked alongside the campaign being waged by black Americans and their white allies for a step up to dignity and opportunity long denied. |
