Abolition Businesswoman Ellen Entrepreneur Mary Pleasant
EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white portrait captures the essence of Mary Ellen Pleasant, a remarkable figure in American history. Born in 1814, Pleasant defied societal norms to become an influential entrepreneur and abolitionist during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Her determined gaze reflects her unwavering commitment to fighting for justice and equality. Pleasant's legacy as a businesswoman is intertwined with her tireless efforts towards ending slavery. She used her entrepreneurial skills to amass wealth, which she then strategically utilized to support various anti-slavery causes. Through her financial contributions and network of connections, Pleasant played a pivotal role in assisting fugitive slaves on their journey to freedom. In this photograph, taken during the height of her activism, we see a woman who exudes strength and determination. The lines etched on her face tell stories of resilience in the face of adversity. As an African-American woman living in a deeply divided America, Pleasant faced numerous challenges throughout her life but remained steadfast in her pursuit of justice. Today, Mary Ellen Pleasant stands as an inspiration for women everywhere - a testament to what can be achieved through courage and perseverance. This powerful portrait serves as both a reminder of our nation's complex history and an homage to those who fought tirelessly against injustice.
