Women’s History Month 2023
By
John C Abercrombie
During the month of March 2023, we look at 31 Black women we should all know. However, like Blacks, we seldom look at women of any hue. Thereby denying them of having role models and in some cases letting them know areas to dedicate their life to. On https://amazingblackhistory.com/ We seek to inform and bring pride to those deserving it and in need of it.

Our mission is to provide those historical facts that have been omitted from history. Believing that America is strong because of contributions by all groups and individuals.
In addition to the lack of information, there seems to be a campaign to promote the disenfranchisement of groups by eliminating the contributions, mistreatment and inclusion. Instead promoting negative depictions which in the absence of other information paints a highly unfavorable picture.
We provide information that exists but is not included in mainstream history. Many wonder about the validity of these stories, so we include videos to enhance the experience and books to allow you to take advantage of additional materials that have existed over time.
To those ends, the books can be purchased from our partner Amazon. It is possible to not only read about the book, but to sample them as well, read a section or listen before deciding if it is one that you like. Click on the link. Note: many of these books are available in several forms, such as hard cover or soft cover, Kindle – eBooks that can be read on your smartphone or other device free with a free download, or Audible where the books are read to you. Again, they can be delivered instantly and enjoyed on phones or other devices with a free download.
We support our work by partnering with partners who pay us a small royalty for purchases made through our links. Many of these are to products that you may find interesting, however it is not necessary to purchase that product. How do you use the links then? Many links take you to several products so feel free to look. If it is a product that you do not want, simply click on the cart and click to remove any unwanted items, then shop to your heart’s content. We both benefit from this action, since the partner pays us without cost to you and are able to provide you outstanding information. A win-win situation for both of us.

Day 1 of 31 – 16th Street Bombing – Birmingham, Alabama – Tribute to Maxine McNair
Condoleezza Rice remembers the bombing that killed four of her friends.
Martin Luther King, Jr. often used Birmingham as a symbol of hardcore resistance to integration and it was common knowledge that the Eastview Klavern 13 chapter of the KKK was behind the bombings. It is estimated that at least 1/3 of the Birmingham Police Department officers were either members of the KKK or sympathetic to the cause.
FBI Director J Edgar Hoover was a fierce opponent of the civil rights movement and blocked the prosecution, even shutting down the investigation in 1968 without filing charges. The FBI also held incriminating evidence of guilt. Thomas Blanton remained free for 4 decades because the FBI did not reveal tape recordings in which Blanton spoke openly f his role in the bombings.

Constance Baker Motley, the attorney who wrote the draft of Brown v Board of Ed and tried 10 cases before the United States Supreme Court, winning nine of ten, later the tenth case was reversed in her favor.

Today is day 4 of 31, focusing on a young scientist who developed a cure for leprosy the dreaded disease that sent many to leper colonies for life. Today this condition is called Hansen’s disease. Ball made the discovery at the age of twenty-two. Such a promising career came to an end about a year later due to a laboratory accident.
Once again we see a promising career stymie by a life that essentially deprived a person of opportunities that could benefit all in the name of segregation. This madness has to stop.

Today is day 5 and features the first Black female judge in America, Jane Bolin. She served for decades as the only Black female in America. She was an advocate for family values and continued even after her retirement. She was influenced by her father, a well-respected lawyer.
This is yet another case where a role model is kept secret because just the knowledge of her and her accomplishments could inspire others. History is selective and we can elect to include it.

Today is day 12 of 31 and features a case of creative law enforcement and what one country does to correct an injustice.
Viola Desmond was a Canadian citizen and was the Madam CJ Walker of Canada.
Arrested in Canada for sitting on the main floor of a movie. Injured during the arrest, she was charged with tax evasion, because the difference in tax on the cost of a ticket was $0.01 (yes, one penny) and fined $26.00. Find what Canada did to correct the unlawful arrest. We don’t always pay attention to cases where an arrest is made, and no one can articulate the charges until they make sure that you are being charged to the max.
Today Viola Desmond is featured on the Canadian $10.00 bill and given a free pardon. A pardon is being forgiven for the crime. In this case Canada apologizes and acknowledged that she never should have been arrested in the first place.

Today is day 14 of 31 dedicated to Black women who have earned a place in history yet are often left out. These women are deserving of recognition and are being honored here today.
Dr. Patricia Bath invented the Laserphaco Probe for the treatment of cataracts in 1986. What is a cataract? It is the clouding of the lens in the eye. The symptoms may look like blurred vision, the fading of colors, halos around lights and often difficulty with bright lights. It also causes problems in low light situations. It often develops slowly and because of limited sight, may cause people to fall over things that they do not see clearly. Cataracts cause almost half of all cases of blindness.

Today is Day 15 of the 31 Day series devoted to recognizing 31 outstanding Black women we should all know.
The Edmond Sisters
The Edmonson sisters played a huge role in the abolitionist movement. The recent subject of a statue unveiled in Alexandria, Virginia.
They were the daughters of Paul and Amelia Edmonson. Paul Edmondson was a free Black man, but because of the legal term partus sequitur ventrem which comes from Latin and means “That which is born follows the womb.” This concept sounds a bit foreign because when it comes to family the common accepted practice is that the genealogy follows the man but when it comes to slavery, it reverses. The status of the child follows the mother. If the mother is a slave, all of her children are born slaves regardless of the status of the father.

Haben Girma is an exceedingly rare person and defies the stereotype of the disabled person. She is legally deaf and blind. Thus, she lacks the two senses that most of us depend on.

At the same time the pension bills submitted to Congress, the petition of the Blacks was not taken seriously and were indefinitely postponed. House cites to the commissioner that the Constitution of the United States grants citizens the right to petition Congress for redress of grievances.
House led a class action lawsuit (Johnson v McAdoo against the United States Treasury for sixty-eight million dollars, the amount collected between 1862 and 1868 for cotton taxes. The government denied the order because the government can only be sued if they agree to being sued.

Featuring Black women who excelled in the sciences and were critical in the American space race. It is impossible to understand how these heroes could have been excluded from history but… the book and movie are possible because of Margot Lee Shetterly who knew them and did the research necessary to bring the story to the attention of so many people.

Today is day 22 of 31 days on remarkable Black women and features a post on Henrietta Lacks.
Henrietta Lacks went to Johns Hopkins Hospital for treatment, while at Hopkins, cells were taken from her without her knowledge or permission and later used for medical research starting an entire industry. Billions of dollars have been eared using these cells and Lacks received nothing. Financial or even recognition of any type.
So, what have these cells done to contribute to the advances of science. These cells unlike those that had been studied before were able to grow in a laboratory. This was a great advance since it was necessary to find cells that would live long enough to study various treatments. Other cells would not replicate themselves and usually died out within a day or so. The HeLa cells were remarkable in that they could replicate and some of those cells taken in 1951 are still viable and in use around the world.

Today is day 24 of the 31 day tribute to Black women we should all know. Our focus is on Nichelle Nichols who inspired many and broke the stereotype that all Black female roles were that of a maid or some other subservient position.
The world morns the death of Nichelle Nichols who portrayed one of the pioneers of stereotype breaking Lt Nyota Uhura in the popular Star Trek and in sequels. While this portrays a point in time that we anticipate, it was a first for the American audience to see a Black female playing a role that did not put them in the stereotypical role of a maid. In fact, this is an exclamation made by the well-known actor Whoopi Goldberg who exclaimed to anyone that was listening that there was a Black woman on tv, and she was not playing a maid.
Since the beginning of time in the entertainment industry Blacks have been placed in subservient roles without any opportunity to show any competence or intellect. This has contributed greatly to the image of the Black as somehow incompetent, lazy, shiftless and to put it bluntly dumb.

Today is day 26 of a 28-day series devoted to uncovering a source of American disgrace. Warning – this is a difficult case to accept and may not be age appropriate for some young readers. Many would just as soon not know about it because it is difficult to face the brutality of racism and choose to remain blissfully ignorant on purpose.
Mary Turner and her as yet unborn baby were murdered because Mary Turner spoke out against the mob that murdered her husband without cause. This is a brutal display of the utter disregard of life by many.

Today is day 27 of the 31-day tribute to Black women we should all know.
Imagine living in a world in which you don’t exist. Sounds impossible until you begin to study American history. Millions of people have been overlooked for accomplishments ranging from dance to astrophysics. This seemingly unimaginable scenario is all too familiar to Black Americans who have largely been excluded from the pages of our commonly taught history.
This post features a great story that demonstrates why this happens so commonly. Raven Wilkerson was a gifted Black dancer who persevered and rose in the ranks of the world of dance, particularly Ballet. She entertained many people unaware of her race but was forced to move to Europe to enjoy the fruits of her labor.

Many people’s eyes glaze over when the subject of reparations is raised. Many see it as a windfall for people who have not contributed to the success of the country. These are people who have not been exposed to the horrors of slavery and the importance to the prosperity of the country.

Today is day 29 of the 31-day …
Rosa J Young is an example of what is possible if you are willing to (1) follow your dreams and (2) don’t quit. Her lifelong dream was to build a school for the education of people in Alabama and she excelled in this by starting thirty schools and twenty churches with the Lutheran church in Alabama.
She was born in Rosebud, Alabama in 1890. She excelled in academics and was fortunate to be able to attend school. At the time school went up to the sixth grade and good fortune allowed her parents to send her to Payne University. Payne had been created by the African Methodist Episcopal Church to serve the Black community. She later received her teaching certificate and passed the state exams.
