Ida B. Wells-Barnett, born into slavery, was a activist and investigative journalist, most popularly know for her work on anti-lynching.

As part of her anti lynching crusade, she published a pamphlet ā€œ Southern Horrorsā€ and the book ā€œA Red Recordā€ detailing the horrors of lynching, which showed Black people being hung for owning successful business that rivaled whites and being active in politics. As a result, southern whites threatened to kill her and even destroyed her newspaper office of The Memphis Free Speech.

Not one to turn the other cheek, Mrs. Wells-Barnett sued the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad company for forcing her to move from first class after refusing to give up her seat to a white manā€”she was dragged from her seat only after biting the man who put his hands on her to move her. She won the lawsuit and was awarded $500 dollars, but the decision was reversed by the Tennessee Supreme Court.

Mrs. Barnett-Wells made significant contributions to civil rights and womenā€™s suffrage movements. She is a founding member of the NAACP, helped launch the National Association of Colored Women, the first president of the Negro Fellowship League that helped Blacks relocate from the south, and also one of the first Black women to run for public office in Illinois.

Harriet Jacobs was born into slavery in Edenton, NC in 1813. Her autobiography ā€œIncidents in the Life of a Slave Girlā€ is the first autobiographical slave narrative written by a woman. Jacobs story reveals the sexual depravity of slave masters and the struggles that enslaved African women endured to protect themselves and their children. At one point Harriet was living under a porch, where she watched her children play through a peep hole she drilled, and only came out at night all to prevent her owner from having his way with her. She escaped and was eventually freed when another person purchased her and set her free. What a life

Itā€™s almost Christmas!! I love Christmas time. Mostly the decorations and time with family. This years gonna be a lot different though. On top of it being hard for a lot of people missing lost loved ones, itā€™s gonna be even harder for the ppl who lost one of the 300k humans that died from Covid. Iā€™ll be praying for everyone, that you have peace and comfort in difficult times and that you be present and grateful during the happy times.
