From Whence Cometh My Help: The African American Community at Hollins College
“Ms. Smith uncovers a part of the past long hidden (the story of the African American community that has been part of the College, yet separate from it—since the founding of the College) and shows us how we understand the past is deeply affected by the search itself.“

“Love Means Nothing”
“Love Means Nothing” is a brilliant written essay about using tennis as a tool for teaching.

Won the 2005 Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation Prize for nonfiction.

“Come and Be Black for Me”
This essay, about the dread of Black History Month, has been published in more than 50 newspapers and magazines. Ten years after its first publication this essay is not just published by many outlets every year, but now writers and scholars are writing about the essay.
