Thank you for your wonderful words and insights. If I were still teaching , I’d use your posts as discussion/essay topics. Your enlightening articles serve as reminders that this is and should be incorporated into all history studies.
Pamela, I can't believe, with all the accomplishments of Sheila Johnson, that I haven't heard of her. I am not an uneducated woman, but I do indeed question whether this state of affairs results from my education (UCB graduate...) or more widely available information, or, quite frankly and sadly, due to my own efforts. Something I and others all need to ponder.
At any rate, your series, Today in Black History' is invaluable. I wish your insights and contributions were more widely available when I was teaching, way back when.
Please continue them, focusing on both men and women. They are a joy to read.

I love that in England, Nancy Leftenant would have been called "Leftenant Leftenant."
I laughed about that, too!
