Writen By Janice Women's history tidbit for today 3/22 Anna
Julia Cooper born into slavery. At 9 years of age entered a
Normal School in North Carolina. The school was set up to train
teachers to educate formerly enslaved people. She went on to
Columbia U. and Paris U. . This woman wrote about women of color
as the hope for African- Americans to evolve and aspire their
potential not by holding onto anger and victimization. But by
revering that which springs life and nurtures it... woman. Ms.
Cooper also saw hope in America. " And here let me say
parenthetically that our satisfaction in American institutions
rests not on the fruition we now enjoy, but springs rather from
the possibilities and promise that are inherent in the system,
though as yet, perhaps, far in the future". She did not wait for
others to create what only she could do. Thank-You Anna Julia
Cooper.. a hero for all humankind.
