✨ Grace Wisher was 13 years old when she sewed the Star-Spangled Banner — the flag that inspired our national anthem.
She was an indentured servant in Mary Pickersgill’s home, working alongside an enslaved Black woman whose name history never bothered to record. Together, they stitched their place into the foundation of this country.
Yet when the story got told, only one name made it to the history books. Only one woman got remembered. Only one got the credit.
Grace Wisher didn’t just sew fabric. She stitched herself into America’s story. And it’s time we say her name.
What should anyone expect from a group of people who stole our lands and wrote laws to protect themselves and gave themselves a false identity to discriminate and control the people who they murdered and stole their lands from and not to mention, gave them a new identity that is considered beneath them? What part of this have you missed?
No one should expect people like this to be fair and honest about anything other than to remain as they always have been when they first arrived on our lands.
I'm not the least bit surprised about anything these wicked inferior cowards do, because they will never change until we get sick and tired of allowing ourselves to be under their control.
