BY LANGSTON HUGHES
I, too, sing America.

I am the darker brother.
They send me to eat in the kitchen
When company comes,
But I laugh,
And eat well,
And grow strong.

Tomorrow,
I’ll be at the table
When company comes.
Nobody’ll dare
Say to me,
“Eat in the kitchen,”
Then.

Besides,
They’ll see how beautiful I am
And be ashamed—

I, too, am America.

Walker : Inventor and Entrepreneur kelsey_graves https://padlet.com/kelsey_graves/mket5h4ifg9k/wish/346713373 Once upon a time, there was an inventor and entrepreneur named Madam C.J. Walker. She was the child of slaves, the first in her family to be born free, thanks to the Emancipation Proclamation. As a child, she had to work in the cotton fields to help support her family. Later, as a teenaged orphan, she became a washerwoman, backbreaking work considered one of the worst and most difficult jobs a woman could have. 

But she dreamed of more -- for herself and her daughter. When, due to an illness, her hair began to fall out, she created a hair care regime specifically for African-American women. It worked! She crisscrossed the country going door to door to sell her products and eventually built a beauty empire with sales representatives in every state. The formula grew to be so popular she became the first self-made female millionaire in America, and her products are still for sale today.]]> 2019-03-29 22:08:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kelsey_graves/mket5h4ifg9k/wish/346713373 Harriet Tubman kelsey_graves https://padlet.com/kelsey_graves/mket5h4ifg9k/wish/346713409 From Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls podcast : "Once upon a time, there was a girl who fought for freedom.
