Elizabeth Keckley, was born a slave in Virginia. When she asked Hugh A. Garland to free them and he refused, she worked for two years to persuade him, agreeing to purchase her freedom. In 1852, he agreed to release them for $1,200 (equivalent to $32,927 in 2019) His wife, Anne, put the conditions in writing in 1855. Elizabeth “Lizzie” Le Bourgeois, her patron, took up a collection among her friends to loan to Keckley, who was then able to buy her and her son’s freedom and was manumitted in St. Louis, Missouri on November 15, 1855.
Keckley moved to Washington, D.C. in 1860. She established a dressmaking business that grew to include a staff of 20 seamstresses. Her clients were the wives of elite politicians, including Varina Davis, wife of Jefferson Davis, and Mary Anna Custis Lee, wife of Robert E. Lee. She became a successful seamstress, civil activist, and author in Washington, D.C..
She was the personal modiste and confidante of Mary Todd Lincoln, the First Lady.
In 1868, Elizabeth Keckley published Behind the Scenes, which told her story of slavery and provided insight into the lives of the Lincolns.
