Civics & Coffee

Mary Ann Shadd Cary


Listen Later

A woman who lived enough for several lifetimes, Mary Ann Shadd Cary was one of the loudest voices in support of Canadian emigration for Black Americans.

Growing up in a household committed to racial justice, Shadd Cary spent her life turning words into action, becoming the first Black woman to launch a periodical in North America. But she also bucked societal norms, often alienating supporters and potential benefactors.

Join me this week as I dive into the life of Mary Ann Shadd Cary.
