Writer, poet and social reformer Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911) was born to free Black parents 200 years ago today in Baltimore, Maryland. She was a leading campaigner for abolition, women's suffrage and temperance. She lived the latter part of her life in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

“all men are created equal” was a lie even then. they didn’t mean: -enslaved Africans -indigenous people -women -poor whites without property they meant land-owning white men. and even many of them were on the fence.
