Ecuadorian civil rights pioneer Dolores Cacuango (1881-1971), also known as Mamá Doloreyuk, spent decades fighting fiercely for the rights of the country’s Indigenous people, with a particular focus on land rights and women’s rights. Cacuango was a dedicated advocate for accessible education and instrumental in establishing Ecuador’s first bilingual schools, which practiced in Spanish and the Indigenous language of Quichua. She founded the Federación Ecuatoriana de Indios (FEI) in 1944.

Olivia Ward Bush-Banks (1869-1944) was an American poet and playwright best known for celebrating both her African-American and Montauk heritages in her works. She also founded the Bush-Banks School of Expression in Chicago to foster emerging African-American talents. Some of her plays supported an interracial culture controversial for her day and were not produced during her lifetime.
