“The word that comes to mind when I think of her is ‘poise.’” —Jasmine Holmes


In this episode of Carved in Ebony, Jasmine Holmes and Abena Ansah-Wright talk about how Frances Ellen Watkins Harper defied societal expectations in order to make an impact on her world. Harper was a teacher, a speaker, a poet, an abolitionist, and equal rights advocate. She became the first woman to teach at Union Seminary, as well as the first African American woman to publish a short story.
