Educator, journalist, and activist, Mary Church Terrell fought for civil rights and women’s rights.
Over the course of her decades-long career, Terrell helped found and led organizations like the National Association of Colored Women, the NAACP, and the National Association of University Women.
As an advocate for woman suffrage, she protested alongside the "Silent Sentinels" who picketed the White House. Terrell pressed white suffragists to support African American women's right to vote, and she continued the fight to secure black women’s access to the ballot after the ratification of the 19th Amendment.
Terrell was a lifelong advocate for equality and opportunity, and she continued to take an active role in fighting racial oppression well into her 80s. In addition to serving as a chairwoman of the Coordinating Committee for the Enforcement of the District of Columbia Anti-Discrimination Laws, Terrell purposely sat at segregated lunch counters took the establishments who refused her service to court.
As #WomensHistoryMonth begins, we’re privileged to tell Terrell’s story. Our Smithsonian American Women’s History Initiative will tell the complete American story and empower future generations. This #WomenHistoryMonth, we'll share stories of the women who changed ours: #BecauseOfHerStory womenshistory.si.edu
