Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, a Nigerian teacher and activist who dethroned a king and inspired feminist activism across all of Africa, died on this day in 1978. She was often called “The Mother of Africa” and “The Lioness of Lisabi.” If I was in charge of teaching a history class, I’d put her in the same standing as Martin Luther King, Jr. or Gandhi.I cover her in my second book, if you want to know more. -- source link
