  • Summary

  • “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-Wright


    In 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.
