Riassunto
Sintesi dell'editore
“This woman was born with nothing, worked to have her own property, and then gave away everything.”
—Jasmine Holmes
In this episode of Carved in Ebony, Jasmine Holmes and Abena Ansah-Wright tell the story of Maria Fearing, a woman born into slavery in Alabama. After Fearing was freed, she learned to read and write, became a teacher, and bought her own home. In her fifties, Maria sold her house as a means to finance her missionary journey to the Congo, where she stayed for as long as she was able. She served as a Bible translator, opened a home for girls, and rescued many children from slavery.
