Published in 1914, In Black and White, articulates Hammond's conviction that the South could never solve its other social and political problems while ignoring the racial injustice that was related to so many of those other problems. Through activities aligned with the social gospel movement of the 1880s, Hammond thought southern white women were the key to improving race relations in the region. Born in 1959, Lily Hardy [later Hammond] was born to parents from slaveholding families. On the eve of the Civil War, her father Henry G. Hardy, a stock broker, relocated the family to just north of New York City. Lily attended the prestigious Packer Institute in Brooklyn, 'the preeminent school for girls for much of the latter 19th century.' Her social conscience was ignited by her visits to New York tenement houses as a teenager, leading to her volunteering with an urban mission. In 1879, she married John Dennis Hammond, a Methodist minister from Georgia, who was serving in the Oconee Street Methodist Church in Athens, Georgia. In 1886, the Hammonds were sent to Missouri, where John later was appointed president of a Methodist college in Fayette. Lily launched herself into women's missions work. In 1898, her career as a social reformer, suffragist, and social gospel activist was accelerated when the family moved to Nashville, Tennessee - a "vibrant centers of Southern Methodism and New South urban development." Lily Hammond quickly emerged as a leader in the world of Southern Methodist women's home missions. . Thus, as early as the turn of the century she was widely known and respected by Southern Methodist women as a leader in their domestic reform efforts. . Nashville was a friendly environment for Hammond's developing views on racial justice, for she found there several kindred spirits. . [e.g.] Kate Trawick, a leader in the YWCA movement and a leading advocate of extending the Y's benefits to African-American women; . Sara Estelle Haskin, YWCA and editor of The Young Christian Worker, and a leader in the Bethlehem settlement house movement. [See: Elna C.
