Educate Like Mary

Description

Although both of her parents were former slaves, Mary Church Terrell grew up in an affluential family and this enabled her to attend college and obtain her Master’s degree. Her road to activism began in 1892 when her longtime friend was lynched because his business was prompting unwanted competition to white businesses. Mary helped found the National Association of Colored Women was the president from 1896-1901. She focused on women’s suffrage and elevating the status of black women because black women faced the double handicap of being both female and black, and by fighting for their rights it would in turn help the entire African American race. Mary also helped found the NAACP in 1909, and she spent the rest of her life tirelessly fighting for various civil rights issues.
