Today we honor the legacy of Septima Poinsette Clark. Septima Poinsette Clark is perhaps the only woman to play a significant role in educating African Americans for full citizenship rights without gaining sufficient recognition. Known as the “Grandmother of the American Civil Rights Movement,” Septima Poinsette Clark developed the literacy and citizenship workshops that played an important role in the drive for voting rights and civil rights for African Americans. In 1920, while serving as an educator in Charleston, Clark worked with the NAACP to gather petitions allowing blacks to serve as principals in Charleston schools. #RootDisruptor #BlackHistoryMonth #OurHistory #Legend #BlackHistory -- source link
