In celebration of black history month, today we celebrate three black women who are responsible for so much change and progress. Episode four is titled hidden figures - Black Women Edition to shed a light on the women often forgotten in the conversation of black history. We celebrate the life of Nannie Helen Burroughs an educator, activist, and suffragist who worked in the early 20th century to educate women. Ruth Ellis a lesbian LGBTQ rights activist throughout the 20th century that worked to uplift and create space for community. Fannie Lou Hamer a voting rights activist that worked along civil rights leaders throughout the 1960s and 1970s to achieve equal voting rights for black Americans. We celebrate these women and their contribution while discussing the importance knowing our history.
