Early in 2023, I became determined to make sure that more people would encounter the name Harriet Jacobs, especially during Women’s History Month. Because Jacobs became an ancestor on March 7th, that date seemed a perfect opportunity, and The Washington Post agreed. I published “Harriet Jacobs was a Pioneer in Exposing Racial and Sexual Violence” after working with the Made by History team.
The day before that piece appeared in The Washington Post, I was guest co-host of The Karen Hunter Show, and she gave me an opportunity to say a bit about Jacobs. Here’s the “Why You Need to Know Harriet Jacobs” video clip. Please watch and share!
