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.
OTD in 1896, Suffragist Mary Church Terrell co-founded & was the first president of the National Association of Colored Women in D.C. with the goal of promoting equality for Black women. ✊🏽
