Eartha White has been compared to Mohandas Gandhi, Mother Teresa, Haile Selassie, Jane Addams, and Jesus Christ. Eartha White’s Bedroom tells the story of her best friend, Grayce Bateman, finding her dying in her bedroom on the second floor of the mission she named for her mother.
Audio tapes at the University of North Florida contain interviews with Grayce Bateman, just after Eartha White’s death in 1974, telling the story of Eartha White’s last days. Eartha White’s Bedroom is excerpted from a draft of Tim Gilmore’s upcoming book In Search of Eartha White.
