Ellen Call Long (1825-1905) was the daughter of Richard Keith Call, an American attorney and politician as well as the 3rd and 5th territorial governor of Florida. Her views on race and civil rights evolved over the course of her life. After refusing the job of Postmaster in 1882, Ellen threw her support behind an African American candidate, William G. Stewart, much to the outrage of the local white community. When her book, Florida Breezes, was published the following year, white residents of Tallahassee reportedly destroyed most of the available copies to demonstrate their anger at Ellen for supporting Stewart and for expressing her views on national reconciliation following the Civil War. In spite of her detractors, Ellen consistently broke societal norms for women in her era, and remained a staunch advocate for the issues in which she believed.Collection
