"K. Leroy Irvis became Pennsylvania’s first Black speaker of the House in 1977, and the first Black speaker in any state legislature since reconstruction. We examined how Irvis’  rise to the speaker’s rostrum, which has some striking parallels to today’s state House, could provide lawmakers with a precedent on how to chart a path forward through gridlock, disagreement and confusion."

"At first, the scammer may spend time getting to know you online. But eventually, the scammer will ask for money. Often, the request will be linked to an alleged emergency, like issues with accessing bank accounts, jail-related or legal costs, or medical expenses. Scammers are also increasingly posing as successful cryptocurrency investors who claim they can teach you how to make your own fortune.

No matter the line, it's all a lie."

You can find this book, 'They Were Her Property: White Women as Slave Owners in the American South' at Bookshop.org. Unfortunately, slaves were used as labor for very long time in America...up to the 1960s.

"white women make up about 40% of all slave owners.

White women were active and violent participants in the slave market. They bought, sold, managed and sought the return of enslaved people, in whom they had a vested economic interest.

Owning a large number of enslaved people made a woman a better marriage prospect. Once married, white women fought in courts to preserve their legal ownership over enslaved people (as opposed to their husband’s ownership), and often won. “"

"Attackers who infiltrate a social media account often immediately change the recovery email and phone number for the account, essentially locking the owner out. For the average Joe, attempting to get a resolution when this happens can be extremely difficult"

"Cushman stayed in Five Points for several days, and when she emerged she had traded her clothes with a dying prostitute. These rags became her costume for Nancy. On the night of her first performance, she hid in her dressing room and emerged fully transformed. But it was what she did next that amazed everyone."

"With very few jobs available to women, most who had no independent means or family to return to were forced into the sex trade. They were reviled by New York’s politicos but visited by many of the same men who decried them in the newspapers and pulpits."

"At a time when Black people were excluded from many institutions of higher learning, Agnes Berry Montier personified perseverance when deciding to become a doctor. In 1900, there were four medical schools in Philadelphia (Jefferson, Hahnemann, University of Pennsylvania and Women’s Medical College), but they were out of reach for many. They were expensive and often denied admissions to Blacks, women (except Women’s Medical College), Jews, immigrants and working students. "
