    “Lucy Craft Laney is in the south, where racial violence is intensifying, the lines are hardening…and she is out here trying to create spaces for education for black children. That’s huge.” 

    —Abena Ansah-Wright


    In this episode of Carved in Ebony, Jasmine Holmes and Abena Ansah-Wright discuss Lucy Craft Laney, an educator born in Georgia in 1854. She was educated at an American Missionary Association school, and went on to start her own school for black children in her home state of Georgia, where she served as principal.

    “This woman was born with nothing, worked to have her own property, and then gave away everything.” 

    —Jasmine Holmes


    In this episode of Carved in Ebony, Jasmine Holmes and Abena Ansah-Wright tell the story of  Maria Fearing, a woman born into slavery in Alabama. After Fearing was freed, she learned to read and write, became a teacher, and bought her own home. In her fifties, Maria sold her house as a means to finance her missionary journey to the Congo, where she stayed for as long as she was able. She served as a Bible translator, opened a home for girls, and rescued many children from slavery.

First episode provides clarity, in a bite size, about Carved in Ebony’s purpose and intent. The author expresses that her faith is an underpinning of this work. Relatable.

Loved the fireside-chat style of conversation, and mostly loved the faint sound of kids in the background. Reminds me of my life.

So many things to relate to, here, for all women.
