And so, lifting as we climb, onward and upward we go, struggling and striving, and hoping that the buds and blossoms of our desires will burst into glorious fruition ere long.” - Mary Church Terrell

Born into slavery in Holly Springs, MS, Ida B. Wells was an active women's rights activist despite frustration that many white women failed to recognize racial inequalities & excluded Black voices. In 1896, she co-founded the @NACWC1896 & in 1910, co-founded the @NAACP.

On this date in 1954, we lost Mary Church Terrell. From teaching Latin at Dunbar High, to her appointment to the DC school board, to her efforts desegregating DC restaurants, she’s a local legend. For her early work with @naacp & @NACWC1896, she is a national civil rights icon.
