“Sarah Mapps Douglass is captivating to me because she is so emblematic of black abolitionism and how beautiful and rich a tradition it was.” —Abena Ansah-WrightIn the latest episode of Carved in Ebony, Jasmine Holmes and Abena Ansah-Wright talk about Sarah Mapps Douglass. Born in 1806 in Philadelphia, Douglass went on to have a long career as an abolitionist, lecturer, educator, and writer. Douglass was a true renaissance woman, and during her life time, she spoke out against the segregation within her own Quaker church tradition, attended medical school, started a literary society, and began her own school for black women.Follow Jasmine Holmes     Twitter: https://twitter.com/JasmineLHolmes     Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasmine.baucham      Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasminelholmes/      Jasmine’s website: https://jasminelholmes.com Follow Abena Boakyewa-Ansah      Twitter: https://twitter.com/APBAnsah      Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abena.ansah Find Jasmine’s book at https://carvedinebonybook.com
