@BMHCaucus WHAT IS THE MAGIC NUMBER IN NY? How many pregnant or postpartum women have to die for the @NYSEDNews to pay attention? By continuing to ignore S310a and A4819a SED sends a clear message that they don't care about the lives of women and children. #WeNeedMoreMidwives

The lady circled in the photo was Lucy Higgs Nichols. She was born into slavery in Tennessee, but during the Civil War she managed to escape and found her way to 23rd Indiana Infantry Regiment which was encamped nearby.
She stayed with the regiment and worked as a nurse throughout the war.
After the war, she moved north with the regiment and settled in Indiana, where she found work with some of the veterans of the 23rd.
She applied for a pension after Congress passed the Army Nurses Pension Act of 1892 which allowed Civil War nurses to draw pensions for their service.
The War Department had no record of her, so her pension was denied. Fifty-five surviving veterans of the 23rd petitioned Congress for the pension they felt she had rightfully earned, and it was granted.
The photograph shows Nichols and other veterans of the Indiana regiment at a reunion in 1898. Beloved by the troops who referred to her as “Aunt Lucy,” Nichols was the only woman to receive an honorary induction into the Grand Army of the Republic, and she was buried in an unmarked grave in New Albany with full military honors in 1915.

You think you're humble? Wait until God instructs you serve someone who has hurt you, bless someone who has betrayed you, and minister to the very people who have salted your name.
Are you humble enough? 😁
