Freeman Ransom, born on a farm near Grenada, Mississippi in 1880, earned something very few African-Americans did during his lifetime: an Ivy League education. As a lawyer, he helped protect the success of the first self-made African-American millionaire, Madame C.J. Walker. He also made it possible for generations of African-American children to follow in his footsteps by advancing legislation that desegregated schools in Indiana, the state where he moved during the Great Migration. Written by Madison Flowers and produced by MiKayla Jones.
