Eliza Healy
Eliza Healy (December 23, 1846 – September 13, 1919) was an educator and the first African-American Catholic Mother Superior. She is a member of the Healy family, which is known for its high achievements in spite of institutional racial segregation in the second half of the nineteenth century.
==Family History==
Eliza Healy was the daughter of Michael Morris Healy, an Irish immigrant and successful plantation owner, and Eliza, a bi-racial slave woman. Michael was born in Ireland and emigrated to Jones County, near Macon, Georgia. The couple lived together from 1829 until their deaths in 1850 and raised 10 children, nine of which survived to adulthood. Because of the partus sequitur ventrem principle, Eliza and her siblings (James, Hugh, Patrick, Sherwood (Alexander), Michael, Martha, Josephine and Eugene) were legally considered slaves, even though their father was a free white man and they had three fourths white ancestry.〔 (Georgia state law ) at the time prohibited slaves from receiving an education and prohibited manumission, so the Healy children were sent to the North to have an education and higher quality of life than what slaves in the South were accorded. When Eliza's parents died within months of each other in 1850, her five older brothers and one older sister were already living in the North. The three youngest Healy children, including Eliza, left Georgia after their parents' death and relocated to New York.〔
