#OnThisDay, 16 Apr 1912, Harriet Quimby becomes the first woman to fly a plane across the English Channel.

Quimby was the first American woman to receive a pilot’s licence and made her living doing exhibition flights in the US. She also made money as the advertising face of a grape juice. She died in July 1912 when her plane pitched forward at 1,000 feet and she was thrown out.

#OnThisDay, 15 Apr 1960, Ella Baker convenes a conference of 126 independent student protest groups. The Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) forms as a result. SNCC coordinated and assisted direct-action challenges to segregation in the USA.

Baker was a civil rights activist for five decades, and advocated grassroots activism. She also criticised the misogyny she encountered within the movement.

Ok I'm making a new intro post to try to find more of "my" people out here.

I like the #indieweb, #aquarium keeping, #printmaking and other #art, I'm in #arteducation in various capacities (higher ed, hospitals, schools), force-free #dogtraining and #americanhistory (esp the #civilwar).

I am moving to #baltimore in two weeks after years of planning and trying to make friends :) Social and outdoorsy. #sober and a little #woo after #longcovid recovery.

"I don’t wear men’s clothes, I wear my own."

#OnThisDay, 10 Apr 1864, army surgeon Dr Mary Edwards Walker is captured by the Confederates during the US Civil War. She later receives the Medal of Honor.

As well as serving in the Civil War, and being a dress reformer who preferred to wear trousers, she was also a suffragist who declined to take her husband’s name when they married.

#OnThisDay, 9 Apr 1939, Marian Anderson sings to thousands for free in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Millions more tuned in on the radio.

Howard University had wanted to book the biggest concert venue in DC, Constitution Hall, for her. But the Daughters of the American Revolution, who owned it, would only let white performers appear on their stage.
