“My wife’s joined the Suffrage Movement (I’ve suffered ever since!)” The best bit of this ‘humorous’ 1911 suffrage postcard is that it is from a brother to his sister. #siblinglove #suferage #suffragemovement #postcard https://www.instagram.com/p/CM-dNB4pMOI/?igshid=1mytdemoegvz7

#DYK in 1909, Nannie Helen Burroughs founded the National Training School for Women and Girls in Washington, D.C., under the motto: “We Specialize in the Wholly Impossible.” Born in 1879 in Orange, Virginia, Burroughs moved to Washington, DC when she was five. She graduated from high school in 1896 with honors and wanted to become a teacher. However, Burroughs had trouble finding a job because of her race. Instead she worked as an assistant editor for a Baptist newspaper in Philadelphia. With the support of the National Baptist Convention and Woman's Convention Burroughs was able to open her own school in October 1909 in Washington, DC. This school would provide African American women vocational training in a variety of fields. Burroughs also required each of her students to take a class in black history. Burroughs dedicated her entire life to the betterment of black women, the Suffrage Movement, the NAACP, and the National Baptist Woman Convention. Her school still exists today.
