"True the Black woman did the housework, the drudgery; true, she reared the children, often alone, but she did all of that while occupying a place on the job market, a place her mate could not get or which his pride would not let him accept.And she had nothing to fall back on: not maleness, not whiteness, not ladyhood, not anything. And out of the profound desolation of her reality she may very well have invented herself."

The final race of the season had just ended and Sylvia Harris was beaming. She patted Lively Moment on the back and kept smiling, kept praising the thoroughbred after finishing 11th of 12. Harris felt like a winner, though. She does whenever she’s in the saddle. A 40-year-old rookie who happens to be African American, Harris is a rarity in the world of horse racing, but there’s more to her story. It really is about redemption, about finding midlife salvation instead of a midlife crisis. It’s about someone who escaped the clutches of manic-depression, before it squeezed the life out of her. It’s about healing, strengthening familial bonds that nearly crumbled under the burden of turmoil. It’s about a woman who was homeless finding salvation — and a place to call home — through her love of horses. MSNBC coverage of Sylvia Harris in Jan. 2008 . #BlackChicksDefy
