Timeline
She has one son, Rumal Rackley, from her relationship with Gil Scott-Heron and lives in Atlanta. In late 2011, heirs of Scott-Heron who were challenging Rumal Rackley as an heir accused him of not being Gil Scott-Heron's son when they said that he had failed a DNA test taken with a relative. The Surrogate Court of New York ruled in December 2018 that the purported test did not count as proof and had no standing. A Surrogate Court Judge ruled that Rumal Rackley is a rightful heir, Gil Scott-Heron's son, and named him permanent administrator of Gil Scott-Heron's estate. (Verifiable through Surrogate Court records.)
In 1981, Rackley was asked to write an article about Greene for the Washington North Star. After the interview, Greene spoke to her about collaborating with him to write his autobiography. Over the course of a year, they recorded audiotaped interviews until Greene fell terminally ill. After Greene's death, interest in publishing the book weakened. Rackley eventually published it herself in 2004.
Rackley received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Clark College, now Clark Atlanta University in 1970 and a special Masters degree from the Columbia University School of Journalism that same year. She got her first job after college in late 1970 at The Evening Star, which later became The Washington Star. In 1979, she left to work for the city government in Washington, D.C., eventually becoming the press secretary for Washington, D.C. mayor Marion Barry during some of Barry's public struggles.
