Front Cover: In the 1950s, “Miss Mary” Coley, a midwife from rural Georgia, educated audiences around the world through her role in All My Babies: A Midwife’s Own Story. Set in rural Georgia, the 1953 health film was a government-sponsored project intended as a training tool for midwives. The film was unique in that it featured a black midwife and a live birth at a time when southern health officials blamed midwives for the region’s infant mortality rates. The main image used in the film’s promotional materials highlighted Coley’s role and skill as a home birth attendant. Source: Georgia Archives.
