Hi Joe,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great informative post and It is great that you choose someone who donated to charities and advocated for African-American rights. Did you know she was the wealthiest Aftican-American and wealthiest self-made woman at the time of her death, that means she acquired her own wealth rather than inheriting it from her family of husband. I would suggest posting more information about her job and how she made her money.
Ngā mihi nui,
