Before freedom was ever written into law, had already written herself into history.

Born in West Africa and enslaved as a child, Wheatley did something almost unthinkable for her time. In 1773, she became the first African American woman to publish a book of poetry, during an era when many people openly claimed Black people weren’t capable of serious thought or creativity.

Her talent was undeniable — so much so that a group of white men actually questioned and examined her just to make sure she was truly the author of her work. She proved them wrong, effortlessly.

Her poems touched on faith, freedom, morality, and the painful reality of enslavement, all while claiming her humanity in a world that refused to see it.

Even with her fame and brilliance, Phillis Wheatley died poor. It’s a familiar story — Black genius praised, but rarely protected or rewarded.

As continues, we honor her because she cracked doors open with a pen. She challenged racist lies, inspired generations of Black writers, and helped lay the foundation for Black voices to be heard, documented, and respected.

Today, we honor her words, her mind, and her courage.

Lanny Smoot is quietly one of the greatest inventors in Disney history—holding more patents than anyone at Disney today 🤯🔧. He’s only the second Disney employee ever inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame 🧠💡… the first was Walt Disney himself.

From behind-the-scenes brilliance to world-changing innovation, this is what Black excellence in STEM looks like. 👑✊🏾🚀

South Carolina State University Alumna, Alma Levant Hayden was a chemist, and one of the first African-American women to gain a scientist position at a science agency in Washington, D.C. She joined the National Institutes of Health(NIH) in the 1950s. Hayden graduated from Howard University with a master’s degree in chemistry, and became an expert in spectrophotometry. Hayden was appointed Chief of the Spectrophotometer Research Branch in the Division of Pharmaceutical Chemistry at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration(FDA) in 1963, and may have been the first African-American scientist at the FDA.
