Elizabeth’s novel, My Little Sister, was made into a silent film in 1919. The lead actress was Evelyn Nesbit, the most famous face of her generation. The novel’s exploration of human trafficking takes on additional meaning with Evelyn’s involvement in the film adaptation.

Elizabeth got a close look at race relations in the early twentieth century through her friendship with Fielder Harris. As a formerly enslaved man making his way in Florida, Fielder worked at Chinsegut and mentored Elizabeth and her brother Raymond as they built their property into a modern farm. Fielder helped form Elizabeth's perception of what it meant to be human and influenced how she would pursue justice in her generation.
