We continue to celebrate Black History Month by shining the light on NAACP founder, Mary Church Terrell. She was born the same year as the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and she died two months after the Supreme Court decision, Brown v. Board of Education. Her life’s work was spent as an advocate for racial and gender justice. Text HISTORY to 62227 for more Black History Month trivia/quotes/facts from the NAACP.
