Pioneering educator Nannie Helen Burroughs (1879-1961) sometime in the 1910s. Born in Orange, Virginia, Ms. Burroughs graduated with honors from the Colored High School, which would later become M Street School and then Dunbar High School. Best know as the founder of the National Trade and Professional School for Women and Girls, Ms. Burroughs was an early advocate for teaching African American History and students had to pass a course in black history in order to graduate. A member of the National Association of Colored Women among other civic and religious advocacy groups, Ms. Burroughs was appointed to a special committee on African Americans and housing by President Herbert Hoover. Also a leader in religion, she helped found the Women’s Auxiliary of the National Baptist Convention.
Ms. Burroughs also had a special connection to Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. A longtime friend of his parents, Ms. Burroughs wrote a letter to Dr. King’s mother, Mrs. Alberta King on February 4, 1956 during the course of the Montgomery Bus Boycott and told her how impressed she was with the “calm, sure way that Junior is standing up for right and righteousness.” Photo: The Library of Congress

Ms. Lester, born Revoyda Frierson in Hope, Arkansas, became better known in later years as an actress, especially for her role as Hester Sue on “Little House on the Prarie.” In 1962, her hit song, ‘Love Letters” was a Top 5 single. She also appeared on “Julia,” “The Bill Cosby Show,” and yes, “House Party 3” and that cult cinematic classic, “Blacula.” Photo: Gilles Petard/Redferns.

43-year-old Josephine Baker is being served prosciutto & melon in Venice in 1949. Today (October 25) is my 43rd birthday and to celebrate, I thought I would post photos of some of my favorite VBG legends at the age of 43. Sadly, too many did not make it to 43 (Dorothy Dandridge, Dinah Washington, Diana Sands, Lorraine Hansberry) but many did and did it well. Photo by Archivio Cameraphoto Epoche/Getty Images.
