This week we published content on our social media channels to feature historical Black women as we continue to celebrate Black History Month. So many of these figures have influenced the paths Springboard takes towards working to make a guaranteed income a reality and to open up more opportunities for Black mothers in Mississippi.
These women were movers and shakers in their separate paths. While we still have such a long way to go, we believe it is important to use this month to lift up their stories and continue to remind each of our mothers in The Magnolia Mother’s Trust that they deserve the space to dream big, do hard things, and work towards the future they see for themselves.
Next week we will be featuring stories and quotes from Harriet Tubman, Shirley Chisholm, Katherine Johnson, and Dorothy Vaughn. Follow us on Instagram!
