At 67 in spring 1955, Emma Gatewood left her Ohio home without telling her children, took a small homemade bag and canvas Keds, and boarded a bus to Georgia to hike north on the Appalachian Trail. With minimal gear—no tent or hiking boots—she endured rain, rocks, injury and isolation, and on Sept 25, 1955 finished after 146 days and 2,168 miles, becoming the first woman to hike the AT solo in one season. She repeated the trail in 1957 and in 1964 became the first person to complete it three times. A survivor of long-term domestic abuse, she hiked to reclaim freedom—“I like feeling free.”—and her example broadened who the trail was for and inspired generations of hikers.

The National Coalition on Black Civic Participation has released the results of a new survey of 1000 Black women registered voters. The report finds they are concerned about pay inequality; cuts to diversity, equity, and inclusion programs; the rising cost of living, especially for Black women without college degrees; and the limited economic protection a degree provides Black women. Older Black women express the greatest concern, and younger women express the most hope for the future.

August 6 is Moms’ Equity Day.
This day marks how far into 2026 a mom has to work just to earn what a man made in 2025.
Moms hold families together with endless love and unseen work, all while powering the workforce outside the home. But love and praise aren't enough. Moms deserve fair pay and real change.
To every mom working around the clock—in the office, at the kitchen table, and through the quiet hours of the night: We see your strength, your tired eyes, and your brave heart. You are the heartbeat of the family and the backbone of society.
You deserve equal pay, equal respect, and true equity. Today and every day, let's stand with moms. Because they deserve more than words—They Deserve Equity. ✊❤️
