In the 1970s, actress Esther Rolle—best known as Florida Evans on Good Times—took a bold stand against stereotypes in television. At a time when Black families were often depicted without fathers, she insisted that the show include a strong Black father figure. Her push led to the casting of John Amos as James Evans, breaking ground for authentic representation of Black family life on screen. Rolle risked her career by challenging executives, but her determination reshaped television history. She believed that showing a complete Black family was essential for dignity, truth, and cultural progress. Decades later, her fight remains a powerful reminder of how representation matters.”

Anarcha Westcott was a young Black girl enslaved in Alabama. After a traumatic childbirth, she developed vaginal and rectal fistulas, a condition that left her in constant pain and shame.

Instead of receiving care, she was experimented on over 30 times by Dr. J. Marion Sims, who operated on her without anesthesia. He used her body to develop a surgery that would later be used to treat white women, with pain relief, dignity, and consent.

Anarcha didn’t agree to any of it. She wasn’t a patient. She was a victim of medical violence.

Today, she is finally being remembered, not as a statistic, but as one of the true Mothers of Modern Gynecology, alongside Lucy and Betsey.

Most people don’t even know her name. Alice Parker is her name. Back in 1919, she created and patented a gas powered heating system when most homes were still using fireplaces and coal stoves. She imagined heating an entire home safely, with different rooms warmed individually instead of relying on one fire source. Even though her system wasn’t fully used back then, her ideas are the reason modern central heating and zoning exist today. That’s Black history. That’s legacy.
