A strong Black pioneer.

I had given you my three strong Black pioneers But if you may allow me to add a fouth.

Let me introduce you to my Great Grand Mother. Mrs Laura Stephenson, I call her Mama. This women was Born from Exslaves.She grew up during years of hardship for Black people in America. She grew up at a time when a Black Man or Woman, had no rights, that a White Man was bound to Honor.But she never lost faith. She just put her head down and moved forward. I do not know where she learn to read, and write, are add and subtract. I do not think she had much formal education, but she love to read and write letters, and do research. And she was very much into American Politics. I do not know if she ever was allowed to vote given the way the southern part of America was structured during her life time. She knew and understood the importance of History. When i was 4yo My Great Grand Mother taught me how to read. I remember her telling me that her eyesight was poor and she needed me to read to her. Well looking back now I know that she wanted to put a strong foundation under my feet. Well this Great women of History, who never Complained, and always believed in moving forward Died March 1960. She went out just like she lived. With Class and a Winning Sprit. One last note on the morning of her Death, she ask me to prey with her, she said I will not be here when you come home from school.

In Honor of Black History Month.

I give you My Great Grand Mother Mrs Laura Mama Stephenson.

January 2, 1878-March 1960.
