I had a student worker in my office who, as a freshman, had a homework assignment which was to identify and write a paragraph about the person in a photograph. By some fluke, I recognized W.E.B. DuBois so I thought that was too easy, although the student found it really difficult. I wish the assignment had been a picture of Maggie Lena Walker. Even I have heard of men like DuBois but I know I'm not the only one who has heard nothing about such women as Walker. Stunning. Success, dignity, family, brillant woman and you know the odds were stacked incredibly high agains her at every turn. No I did not know that marriage meant she could not teach. So much stacked against her. And overcome. Lovely lesson today. Thank you.Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861775657392808950noreply@blogger.com
