Meet some of Philadelphia’s fiercest black women leaders in the new book, "They Carried Us: The Social Impact of Philadelphia's Black Women Leaders". They range from the first black woman known to be born in Philadelphia (1694)—who ran a ferry business during colonial times—to the woman whose childhood experiences led her to become a surgeon and medical advisor to celebrities. All of the women “bring it” as activists— in community and movement work, business and civic institutions, education, churches, medicine, government, journalism, sports and the arts.
