Today… is Constitution Day, marking the day the constitution was signed in 1787. is the birthday of civil rights activist, suffragist, educator, native Ohioan and Oberlin graduate Mary Burnett Talbert (1866-1923). She did so much, I don’t even know where to start. Know a hospital or university building named Talbert? Probably after her. She co-founded the Niagara Movement, precursor to the NAACP. If there were more than two women in a room, she was probably at the front, talking and organizing - if those women were Black, she was definitely there.
Man, the woman was non-stop
Man, the woman was non-stop
Man, the woman was non-stop
