4 Black women of History.

This is the last Black Women of American History in this series that I will write on.


Miss Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley.

1818-1907.


Miss Keckley a former Slave who became a successful  seamstress, civl activist, and author. From 1861 on she was the dressmaker for the most powerful women of the day in Washington DC. She was best known as the personal confidante of Mary Todd Lincoln. Miss Keckley bought her freedom for 1200 dollars in ST. Louis in 1858. She move to Washigton in 1860 and created an independent business. There is so much to write about this Great Lady. However I would ask you to research and learn as much about her as you can.

These 4 Black Slave Women in there own way struck a Major Blow for Freedom in America.
