Louisa Terrell will leave the White House before the end of the month

Louisa Terrell — According to insiders, one of President Joe Biden’s longest-serving staff members is anticipated to leave the White House before the end of July. The White House’s director of legislative affairs, Louisa Terrell, played a key role in assembling a group to act as the president’s eyes and ears in Congress.

Terrell is less visible to the public, but she is quite powerful behind the scenes. She serves as the president’s official point of contact for all activities on Capitol Hill, with a staff acting as his eyes and ears. Vice President Joe Biden’s legislative victories, executive branch appointments, and judicial candidates have all received solid support from Louisa Terrell. She started working for President Barack Obama more than twenty years ago, when Biden was a senator and a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

With Congress

Democrats held sway over both chambers of Congress for Biden’s first two terms in office. The government was successful in enacting several measures during this time, including the Inflation Reduction Act, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act, and the Covid-focused American Rescue Plan Act.

despite the challenges of creating a Democratic Party on Capitol Hill that is geographically and ideologically diverse. That was insignificant in comparison to the workload associated with representing the president in Congress once the Republicans took back the House. The Republican Party has made tremendous progress in its commitment to monitoring and investigating the Biden administration and the legislative agenda…Read More

Judge Robert Herberton Terrell (November 27, 1857 - December 1925) the first African American judge in DC, was born in Charlottesville, Virginia to Harris and Louisa Ann Terrell. He was sent to public schools in the DC and then to Groton Academy in Groton, Massachusetts. He graduated cum laude from Harvard University. He graduated from the Howard University Law School with an LL.B. He attained his LL.M from Howard University Law School. Because of the difficulty in getting a job as an African American attorney in DC, he taught in DC public schools. He worked as chief clerk in the office of the auditor of the US Treasury.

He met Mary Church when she accepted a teaching post at the Preparatory School for Colored Youth in DC, where he was principal. They married (1891) and had two daughters. She would soon be noted in her own right as a civil rights leader and instrumental in the organization of the Colored Women’s League of Washington. She was an early president of the National Association for Colored Women.

From (1892-98) he practiced law in DC but returned to teaching and became principal of M Street High School in DC. He allied himself with Booker T. Washington in the first decade of the 20th century and through the latter’s influence with President William Howard Taft he was nominated by the President to serve on the DC Municipal Court. Despite bitter opposition to his appointment from Southern Democratic Senators, he on January 15, 1910, became the first African American judge in the nation’s capital. He served as a judge until his death.

He was on the faculty of the Howard University Law School. He was a charter member of the first DC chapter of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity.

He suffered a stroke in 1921. A year later, he suffered another stroke leaving him paralyzed. The Robert H. Terrell Law School was an HBCU Law School in DC, that offered evening classes from its founding (1931-50). It was founded by George A. Parker, Philip W. Thomas, Louis R. Mehlinger, Benjamin Gaskins, Chester Jarvis, and Lafayette M. Hershaw after Howard University ended its evening law school program. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence #sigmapiphi #phibetasigma

The Sterling Sisters: What is "Their Song" With Their Puppet Men?

Marabelle & Six Shooter:

Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrel

This song came on the radio when Six and Mara were driving home from a date. She started humming along to it and he decided to start singing. Eventually in turned into a duet with the two of them belting out the lyrics to no one but themselves. It was fun, and the moment reminded Six just how wonderful it is to be human again, and actually being in a loving relationship with someone. Just a silly moment between him and the woman he loves

Angelica and Jester:

Cheri Cheri Lady - Modern Talking

To be fair, these two call any love song that plays "their song", but if you were to ask them seriously, this one would definitely be up there on that list. The song is played the most when the two of them are doing cutesy couple stuff. It played in the mall during one of their shopping dates, Angie's playlist on her phone played it when they were both doing each other's makeup (specifically when she was doing his while sitting on his lap), and it played in the same way when they were both baking, which turned into a dance party with the two of them

Louisa and Blade:

Love You To Death - Type O Negative

I mean, come on now. This song is beautiful, it's romantic, it's gothic. It's everything Blade man. Louisa loves to listen to music while she paints or sketches, and Blade came to tell her that it was time to eat. While she was cleaning up her paint supplies, her playlist had played this song next. He listened to it for a bit, liking what he heard. So he got up, pulled her into his arms, and started to slow dance to it. He didn't care that her hands and apron were still covered in paint, he just wanted to hold her in his arms and feel the song

[gettothestabbing]

The decision is in keeping with former president Barack Obama's proud tradition of hiring corporate lobbyists—despite explicitly campaigning against the influence of such lobbyists in Washington. Terrell is merely the latest former lobbyist to earn a senior role in the Biden administration.

Biden's incoming chief of staff, Ron Klain, previously lobbied on behalf of U.S. Airways, AOL Time Warner, Fannie Mae, and ImClone, a pharmaceutical company whose CEO was convicted of fraud. His deputy chief of staff, Jen O'Malley Dillon, cofounded an "integrated strategy and marketing agency" that was recently hired to represent private equity firms. The incoming counselor to the president, Steve Ricchetti, previously lobbied for AT&T, Eli Lily, and the American Bankers Association.

Mary Church Terrell-African-American’s and Women’s Rights activist

Mary Church Terrell was born on September 23, 1863, in Memphis, Tennessee. Her parents were former slaves, Robert Reed Church and Louisa Ayers Church. Robert Reed was a successful businessman and would go on to become one of the first African-American millionaires from the South. Her mother, Louisa, owned and ran her own hair salon.

The family’s wealth and status gave Mary all the opportunities that a majority of African-Americans could never even dream of having at the time. Mary was fortunate enough to receive a good education, attending Antioch College in Ohio and Oberlin College, where she received both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree.

Mary’s good education and the family’s rise from the middle to upper class of society, gave Mary a better position to use her voice to fight racial inequality and women’s suffrage in the 19th century.

In 1892, Mary witnessed an event that changed the course of her life and work. Her friend, Thomas Moss, was lynched in Memphis, Tennessee, by a group of white men because his business was in competition with theirs.

Mary joined another activist and suffragette, Ida B. Wells, in creating anti-lynching campaigns throughout the South. By 1896, they started the National Association of Colored Women (NACW), and Mary served as its president from 1896 to 1901.

Mary gave speeches and campaigned for black civil rights and women’s rights as well, and after the 19th amendment was finally passed, she continued to focus on civil rights for all. She became the founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People In 1909.

In 1940, she published, “A Colored Woman in a White World”, a book that focused on her experiences with racial discrimination and women inequality. Her motto throughout her life was “keep on going, keep on insisting, keep on fighting injustice.”

Mary died at the age of 90 on July 25, 1954, in Annapolis, Maryland. She is buried in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Maryland.

Women’s rights activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Betsy Ross, who championed gender equity, didn’t feel the same about race. While many white suffragists worked to help eradicate the institution of slavery, they did not work to ensure that former slaves would have citizenship or voting rights.

“Black women were not accounted for in white women’s push for suffrage. Their fight wasn’t about women writ large. It was about white women obtaining power – the same power as their husbands, black women and black men be damned,” says Howard University Assistant Professor Jennifer D. Williams.

Stanton and Ross and other high-profile leaders in the movement didn’t support the 14th and 15th amendments, which granted former slaves citizenship rights and gave black men voting rights. Given this chasm, a black women’s suffrage movement developed alongside the mainstream movement.

“There was a concerted effort by white women suffragists to create boundaries towards black women working in the movement,” says historian and author Michelle Duster. “White women were more concerned with having the same power as their husbands, while black women saw the vote as a means to improving their conditions.”

Some black suffragists you should know

Sojourner Truth (About 1797-1883)

Born into slavery as Isabella Baumfree, she gained her freedom in the 1820s and supported herself through menial jobs and selling a book written by Olive Gilbert, “Narrative of Sojourner Truth: a Northern Slave, Emancipated from Bodily Servitude by the State of New York in 1828. At the 1851 Women’s Rights Convention held in Akron, Ohio, Sojourner Truth delivered what is now recognized as one of the most famous abolitionist and women’s rights speeches in American history, “Ain’t I a Woman?” In 1872, Truth was turned away when trying to vote in the U.S. presidential election in Battle Creek, Michigan.

Harriet Tubman (About 1820-1913)

Tubman, whose birth name was Araminta Ross, is commonly known as an emancipator who led hundreds of slaves to freedom along the underground railroad. She also was a staunch supporter of women’s suffrage, giving speeches about her experiences as a woman slave at various anti-slavery conventions, out of which the voting rights movement emerged.

Coralie Franklin Cook (1861-1942)

Cook founded the National Association of Colored Women and was known as a committed suffragist. In 1915, she published “Votes for Mothers” in the NAACP magazine The Crisis discussing the challenges of being a mother and why women need the vote.

Angelina Welde Grimke (1880-1958)

A well-known feminist in the District of Columbia, Grimke was a journalist, playwright, poet, lesbian, suffragist and teacher. Grimke wrote for several journals such as Margaret Sanger’s Birth Control Review. Educated at Wellesley College, Grimke’s literary works exposed her ideas about the pain and violence in black women’s lives, and her rejection of the double standards imposed on women.

Charlotta (Lottie) Rollin (1849-unknown)

After the Civil War, the woman suffrage movement split into two separate organizations: the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) —a more radical group and the more mainstream American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). Rollin joined the AWSA. During Reconstruction, Rollin became active in South Carolina politics working for congressman Robert Brown Elliott. Rollin spoke on the floor of the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1869 in support of universal suffrage. By 1870, Rollin chaired the founding meeting of the South Carolina Woman’s Rights Association and was elected secretary. Several of Rollin’s family members — sisters Frances, Kate and Louisa also were active in promoting women’s suffrage at both the state and national levels.

Mary Ann Shad Cary (1823-1893)

Cary was perhaps the first black suffragist to form a suffrage association. During the 1850s, she was a leader and spokesperson among the African American refugees who fled to Canada after passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850. In 1853, she founded the Provincial Freeman, a newspaper dedicated to the interests of Blacks in Canada. Cary spoke at the 1878 convention of the NWSA applying the principles of the 14th and 15th Amendments to women and men. She called for an amendment to strike the word “male” from the Constitution. In 1871, Cary unsuccessfully tried to vote in Washington, but she and 63 other women prevailed upon officials to sign affidavits attesting that women had tried to vote. In 1880, she organized the Colored Women’s Progressive Franchise Association, which promoted suffrage and educated people on finance and politics.

Gertrude Bustill Mossell (1855–1948)

A journalist, Mossell, wrote a women’s column in T. Thomas Fortune’s newspaper, The New York Freeman. Her first article, “Woman Suffrage” published in 1885, encouraged women to read suffrage history and articles on women’s rights.

Ida B. Wells (1862-1931)

Wells, who worked with white suffragists in Illinois, founded the Alpha Suffrage Club, the first suffrage group for black women. They canvassed neighborhoods and educated people on causes and candidates helping to elect Chicago’s first black alderman. In 1913, Wells and some white activists from the Illinois delegation traveled to Washington to participate in the historic suffrage parade where women gathered to call for a constitutional amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote. Black suffragists were initially rejected from the event. Wells and other suffragists including white suffragists like Stanton wrote letters asking the parade to allow black women to participate. Event leaders acquiesced, requiring black suffragists to march in the back of the parade to assuage the feelings of white women in the movement who did not want them there. Despite the conditions, black suffragists participated. However, Wells refused to march at the back.

Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954)

In 1896, Terrell and fellow activists founded the National Association of Colored Women and Terrell served as the association’s first president. After the passage of the 19th Amendment, Terrell turned her attention to civil rights.

Anna Julia Cooper (1858-1964)

Anna Julia Cooper was a prominent African American scholar and a strong supporter of suffrage through her teaching, writings and speeches. Cooper worked to convince black women that they required the ballot to counter the belief that ‘black men’s’ experiences and needs were the same as theirs.

Rosa Parks (1913-2005)

Known as the “Mother of the Civil Rights Movement,” because of her role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Parks continued to work for civil rights which included voting rights. Parks served as an aide to Congressman John Conyers and used her platform to discuss many issues, including voting rights.

Charlotte Vandine Forten (1785 –1884)

An abolitionist and suffragist, Forten came to Washington in the late 1870’s with her husband, James Forten, a wealthy sail maker and abolitionist. She was a founder and member of the interracial Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society, many of whose members became active in the women’s rights movement.

Harriet Forten Purvis (1810 – 1875)

Daughter of wealthy sailmaker and abolitionist reformer James Forten and Charlotte Forten, Forten Purvis and her sisters were founding members of the Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society, and members of the American Equal Rights Association, where Harriet served as a member of the executive committee. Affluent and educated, the sisters helped lay the groundwork for the first National Woman’s Rights Convention in October 1854 and helped organize the Philadelphia Suffrage Association in 1866.

Margaretta Forten (1806 -1875)

Forten was an educator and abolitionist. She and her mother, Charlotte Forten and her sister, Harriet, were founders and members of the interracial Philadelphia Female Anti-Slavery Society.

Harriet “Hattie” Purvis (1810-1875)

A niece of the Forten family of reformers, Purvis was active in the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association and a member of their executive committee. Between 1883 and 1900, she served as a delegate to the National Woman Suffrage Association. She also served as Superintendent of Work among Colored People for the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, championing reforms.

Sarah Remond (1826-1887)

Remond was an antislavery lecturer and physician. The Remonds were a noted abolitionist family, well known in antislavery circles and, as a child, Sarah had attended abolitionist meetings. She was an activist in the Salem and Massachusetts Antislavery Societies, and a member of the American Equal Rights Association, where she served as a guest lecturer, and toured the Northeast campaigning for universal suffrage. Discouraged by the split in the women’s suffrage movement after the Civil War, she left the United States, becoming an expatriate in Florence, Italy, in 1866, where she studied medicine.

Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-1911)

Frances Ellen Watkins Harper was an early abolitionist and women’s suffrage leader. She was one of the few African American women present at conferences and meetings about these issues between 1854 and 1890. She also wrote protest poetry that referenced which included musings about voting rights.

Josephine St. Pierre Ruffin (1842 –1924)

Ruffin was a Massachusetts journalist and noted abolitionist before the Civil War. She joined the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association in 1875 and was affiliated with the American Woman Suffrage Association. She was a black woman’s club leader in Massachusetts and the wife of George L. Ruffin, one of the woman’s suffrage representatives from Boston in the state legislature. She challenged the opposition to woman’s suffrage in Boston, writing an editorial co-authored with her daughter, Florida Ridley.

Nannie Helen Burroughs (1879-1961)

Burroughs, an educator, church leader and suffrage supporter, devoted her life to empowering black women. She helped establish the National Association of Colored Women in 1896 and founded the National Training School for Women and Girls in 1909.

Ella Baker (1903-1986)

Civil rights activist and freedom fighter, Ella Baker played a key role in some of the most influential organizations of the time, including the NAACP, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. In 1964, SNCC helped create Freedom Summer, an effort to both focus national attention on Mississippi’s racism and to register black voters. Baker and many of her contemporaries believed that voting was one key to freedom.

Robert Herberton Terrell, the first African American judge in Washington, D.C., was born in Charlottesville, Virginia on November 27, 1857 to Harris and Louisa Ann Terrell.

The Terrells, an upper-middle class American family, sent their son to public schools in the District of Columbia and then to Groton Academy in Groton, Massachusetts.

In 1884, Robert Terrell graduated cum laude from Harvard University. Five years later he graduated from the Howard University Law School with an LL.B. In 1893 he attained his LL.M from Howard University Law School. Because of the difficulty in getting a job as a black attorney in Washington, D.C., Terrell taught in the District’s public schools between 1884 and 18. He then worked as chief clerk in the office of the auditor of the U.S. Treasury.

Robert Terrell met Mary Church when she accepted a teaching post at the Preparatory School for Colored Youth in Washington, D.C., where he was principal. They married in October 1891 and had two daughters. Mary Church Terrell, the daughter of Robert R. Church, a prominent Republican politician and businessman in Memphis, would soon be noted in her own right as a civil rights leader and instrumental in the organization of the Colored Women’s League of Washington. She was also an early president of the National Association for Colored Women.

From 1892 to 1898, Robert Terrell practiced law in Washington, D.C. but returned to teaching and became principal of M Street High School in Washington, D.C. Terrell, a staunch Republican, allied himself with Booker T. Washington in the first decade of the 20th century and through the latter’s influence with President William Howard Taft he was nominated by the President to serve on the District of Columbia Municipal Court. Despite bitter opposition to his appointment from Southern Democratic Senators, Terrell on January 15, 1910 became the first African American judge in the nation’s capital. Terrell served as judge until his death in 1925.

While serving as municipal judge, Terrell was also on the faculty of the Howard University Law School. In February 1911 he was a charter member of the first Washington, D.C. chapter of Sigma Pi Phi Fraternity (the Boule), the oldest black fraternity in the nation.

Robert Terrell suffered a stroke in 1921. A year later, he suffered another stroke leaving him paralyzed. He died in Washington, D.C. in December 1925.

New story in Politics from Time: With His Agenda on the Brink, Joe Biden Scrambles to Unite Democrats

Joe Biden ran for president promising to be a savvy dealmaker in Congress. But now, with his domestic agenda threatened by disagreements within his own party, he is facing the ultimate test.

Biden spent Wednesday afternoon and evening huddling in the Oval Office with three groups of Democratic lawmakers, trying to convince them to overcome their differences to pass an infrastructure bill that would invest $1 million in repairing the country’s aging roads and bridges, and a $3.5 trillion bill that would expand healthcare, childcare and community college, and authorize paid family leave. It was his most significant foray yet into managing the divisions within his party on these bills, and the pressure is enormous for his involvement to yield results. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”]

The success of Biden’s first term and Democrats’ fate in the midterm elections largely hinge on these two pieces of legislation. But, with no margin for error in the Senate and a three vote margin in the House, every vote counts, and the moderate and progressive wings of the party can’t agree on the cost of a reconciliation bill.

For months, Biden and his team have been working the phones and signing onto Zooms with lawmakers, aides, and outside groups to unite a disparate Democratic caucus behind these bills. But aides say those calls have typically focused on explaining the substance of the bills, rather than discussing strategy to get them passed. “Progressives are relying on Pelosi to figure this out,” says one Congressional aide linked with the progressive wing, referring to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. “The White House hasn’t leaned on House members to vote yes. There were times where the Obama Administration made it clear that they needed progressive votes. This is not that.”

Now, with a deadline looming next week—which Pelosi and a group of moderates agreed on over the summer—Biden has to wade into the fray. He has so far managed to largely float above the fractures in his party, avoiding a bruising primary fight and convincing Democrats to coalesce quickly around a COVID-19 relief package in the early days of his presidency. But with his approval ratings sinking amid a surge of the Delta variant and a chaotic Afghanistan withdrawal, these twin pieces of legislation could be a political boost Biden desperately needs—if his own party doesn’t stand in the way. “This is so precarious that we need the White House to get involved,” says one senior aide associated with the moderate wing of the party.

Biden has begun to take on a bigger role in the negotiations. On Wednesday he met with three separate groups of Democratic lawmakers: Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer; a group of 11 moderates that included the two Senate holdouts, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin and Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema; and 10 progressives, including Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.

After the meetings, some attendees appeared cautiously optimistic, but still didn’t feel a resolution had been reached. “I’m not sure we’re at a place of closing out just yet,” Rep. Stephanie Murphy, a moderate from Florida, told reporters after the call.

Aides for both the moderate and progressive wings say they are frequently in touch with the White House’s legislative affairs office. Brian Deese, the President’s top economic adviser, and Louisa Terrell, head of the Office of Legislative Affairs, met with the moderate New Democrat coalition on Tuesday evening. Cabinet officials like Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo have briefed both the progressive and moderate wings about various components of the bills. And top Biden advisers, including Susan Rice and Neera Tanden, have also been in touch with outside groups. In the coming weeks, the progressive caucus expects to meet with Marcia Fudge, Secretary for Housing and Urban Development, and Xavier Becerra, who heads the Department of Health and Human Services, according to a source familiar with the plans.

Randi Weingarten, head of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), who is frequently in touch with the Administration about the bills, described the communication and outreach as “constant.” The Administration, she says, “is completely focused on getting this domestic agenda passed.”

But failing to calm the intra-party tensions could have dire implications for Biden’s agenda. In September, the Senate passed both the infrastructure bill—with bipartisan support—and the budget resolution for $3.5 trillion—which was passed along party lines under a process called reconciliation. Both were sent to the House, but a group of moderate Democrats refused to vote on the resolution until they were guaranteed a vote on the infrastructure bill. Pelosi ultimately reached an agreement with the group to vote for the resolution if the House voted on an infrastructure bill by September 27th. But that deadline is rapidly approaching, and there are stark differences that threaten to derail both votes. Progressives say they will not vote for infrastructure unless there is also a vote on reconciliation, which won’t be ready by the self-imposed September 27th deadline. And they are refusing to vote for anything lower than $3.5 trillion, a price tag that worries some moderates.

The White House says Biden plans to play a leading role in getting the bills over the finish line, and that Wednesday’s meetings were just the start. “He’s going to listen, he’s going to engage, and he’s going to, hopefully, play a constructive role as the leader of the party, as the President of the United States, on moving this important agenda forward,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday. The question is whether that will be enough.

Mary Church Terrell

https://www.unadonnalgiorno.it/mary-church-terrell/

Mary Church Terrell è stata un’importante attivista per i diritti civili statunitense.

Insegnante, giornalista e suffragista è stata una delle prime donne afroamericane a laurearsi, la prima a diventare preside e poi Provveditrice agli studi.

Nata a Memphis il 23 settembre 1863, Mary Church era figlia di ex schiavi. Suo padre, Robert Reed Church, era un uomo d’affari che divenne uno dei primi milionari afroamericani del sud. Sua madre Louisa Ayres aveva un importante negozio di parrucchiera. La loro posizione agiata e il valore riposto nell’importanza dell’istruzione permisero alla figlia di frequentare la scuola dell’Antioch College in Ohio, e in seguito l’Oberlin College, prima università statunitense ad accettare studentesse afroamericane, dove conseguì la laurea in lettere classiche e il master in istruzione. Portò a termine il corso di studi riservato agli uomini che consisteva in quattro anni anziché i due istituiti per le donne, andando contro chi pensava che lo studio delle lingue morte fosse troppo difficile e poco adatto a una ragazza.

Ebbe anche la possibilità di studiare per due anni in Europa. Tornata in patria, ha lavorato nella prima scuola superiore pubblica afroamericana della nazione, la M Street Colored High School dove conobbe Heberton Terrell che sposò nel 1891. La coppia ebbe una figlia e ne adottò un’altra.

Oltre che insegnante è stata un’appassionata e importante attivista per i diritti civili, concentrata soprattutto sull’emancipazione delle donne nere.

Dopo il linciaggio di un suo vecchio amico, si unì a Ida B. Wells nelle sue campagne antirazziste concentrandosi sulla battaglia per l’istruzione, potente mezzo per porre fine alla discriminazione razziale assieme al lavoro e all’attivismo comunitario.

Nel 1904 fu invitata a parlare al Congresso Internazionale delle Donne, a Berlino. Era l’unica donna nera alla conferenza. Fu accolta da un’entusiasta ovazione quando rese onore alla nazione ospitante pronunciando il suo discorso in tedesco. Ripeté il discorso in francese e concluse con la versione inglese.

I suoi scritti furono pubblicati in diverse riviste. Il linciaggio dal punto di vista di un Negro (Lynching from a Negro’s Point of View), pubblicato nel 1904, fa parte della sua lunga lista di pubblicazioni in cui tenta di smantellare la narrazione distorta del perché gli uomini neri siano vittime di linciaggi, e espone numerosi fatti a sostegno delle sue affermazioni.

Nel 1896 fondò la National Association of College Women, divenuta poi National Association of University Women (NAUW) che iniziò un programma di formazione e una scuola materna, prima che fossero inclusi nelle scuole pubbliche di Washington.

È stata la prima preside nera in una scuola superiore, successivamente nominata provveditrice del Distretto di Columbia, ruolo che ricoprì dal 1895 al 1906.

La sua frase “Lifting as we climb” divenne il motto della National Association of Colored Women che aiutò a fondare nel 1896 e di cui fu presidente instancabile fino al 1901. Incontrava le organizzazioni nere e bianche, scriveva e si spostava per tutto il paese per tenere discorsi e conferenze.

Nella prima guerra mondiale prese parte al War Camp Community Service, che forniva supporto morale ai militari. Successivamente si interessò alle questioni relative alla smobilitazione dei soldati neri. Fu delegata alla Conferenza Internazionale per la Pace dopo la fine della guerra.

È stata una fervente sostenitrice del suffragio femminile. Tra le grandi manifestazioni collettive a cui ha aderito ci fu il picchettaggio davanti alla Casa Bianca con le attiviste del National Woman’s Party.

Come donna nera sapeva di appartenere “all’unico gruppo in questo paese che ha due ostacoli enormi da superare, il sesso e la razza“.

Attiva nel Partito Repubblicano, fu presidente della Lega repubblicana delle donne durante la campagna presidenziale del 1920, la prima elezione in cui fu concesso il diritto di voto alle donne statunitensi, principalmente bianche.

Nel 1940 ha pubblicato la sua autobiografia Una donna di colore in un mondo bianco in cui racconta gli anni  universitari all’Oberlin, e di come era stata aiutata nelle relazioni grazie all’ambiguità della sua appartenenza razziale, suo nonno era un bianco e lei era di carnagione abbastanza chiara. Caratteristica questa che le aveva consentito di muoversi in vari ambiti e che la rese necessaria per creare maggiori legami tra afroamericani e americani bianchi.

Ebbe anche una fortunata carriera come giornalista, con lo pseudonimo Euphemia Kirk, pubblicò sia su giornali bianchi che su giornali neri.

Nel 1948, Mary Church Terrell è stata la prima donna nera a far parte dell’American Association of University Women, dopo aver vinto una causa contro la discriminazione.

Nel 1950, all’età di 86 anni, sfidò la segregazione nei luoghi pubblici protestando contro il John R. Thompson Restaurant a Washington. La causa fu vinta nel 1953, dopo vari boicottaggi e picchetti davanti a altri ristoranti, quando la Corte Suprema stabilì che le strutture separate  erano incostituzionali, decisione che rappresentò un importante passo avanti nel movimento per i diritti civili.

Durante i suoi ultimi anni riuscì anche a convincere la sezione locale dell’American Association of University Women ad ammettere donne nere.

È morta il 24 luglio 1954 all’età di 90 anni.

Ha vissuto una lunga e instancabile vita a lottare contro la discriminazione razziale, a propugnare l’importanza dell’educazione e della partecipazione delle donne nere all’interno della società americana. L’azione di Mary Church Terrell è stata preziosa per il movimento delle donne e dei diritti civili.

POLITICO Playbook: Cleanup at 1600 Penn

The White House is trying to walk back without appearing like they’re walking back. | Pete Marovich-Pool/Getty Images

This could’ve been a celebratory moment for the White House. President JOE BIDEN finally — finally! — got his bipartisan deal on infrastructure, last week’s trip to Europe went well, the pandemic is easing, the country is opening back up, and a new Fox News poll has his approval rating at 56%.

Instead, the White House spent Friday in cleanup mode after moderate Senate Republicans fumed over Biden’s threat not to sign the bipartisan infrastructure bill unless the much more expensive, partisan-crafted reconciliation bill landed on his desk at the same time.

My colleagues Christopher Cadelago and Natasha Korecki have a readout of the whole messy episode at the White House on Friday: “With Republicans threatening to abandon the deal, STEVE RICCHETTI, one of Biden’s lead negotiators, who a day earlier had been credited by the president for his efforts shepherding the deal, scrambled to contain the fallout on Capitol Hill. Both he and LOUISA TERRELL, the White House top congressional liaison, told the Senators involved in negotiations that Biden was enthusiastic about the deal and would soon hit the road to tout its benefits as well as the merits of bipartisanship. According to two sources familiar with his efforts, Ricchetti told Republicans that the White House was going to clarify the comments.

“A White House official disputed the notion that Ricchetti suggested Biden may have misspoke — an impression that those two sources said was left. The official said that the president’s team anticipated dustups during the early phases of the process and noted that White House press secretary JEN PSAKI several times during Friday’s briefing took a softer tone than Biden did on Thursday.”

Think of it as the “moonwalk” approach to damage control: The White House is trying to walk back without appearing like they’re walking back.

It’s clear that the White House knows they messed this one up. The threat to veto the bipartisan bill hasn’t been repeated by staff or the president since his initial remarks, and a readout of his call with Sen. KYRSTEN SINEMA (D-Ariz.) said “the President also reiterated that he would fight to pass the Bipartisan Agreement, as he committed to the group,” and that he “looks forward to signing both these bills.”

Good Saturday morning. Thanks for reading Playbook. Drop us a line: Rachael Bade, Eugene Daniels, Ryan Lizza, Tara Palmeri.

This summer looks a lot better because of private equity’s investments over the past year.

HARRIS AT THE BORDER — On Friday, during her first trip to the border as VP — coming after months of Republicans pressuring the administration to send her there — KAMALA HARRIS was hit with questions about why it took her so long to arrange a visit. “It was always the plan to come here,” she told reporters yesterday when asked.

— The Texas Tribune’s James Barragán has a good overview of the trip: “Harris, who was accompanied by Department of Homeland Security Secretary ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS, U.S. Sen. DICK DURBIN, D-Ill., and U.S. Rep. VERONICA ESCOBAR, D-El Paso, visited the El Paso Border Patrol station and the El Paso del Norte Port of Entry, and met with representatives of non-governmental organizations that help immigrants during her four-hour trip to the border city. Inside the border facility, Harris met with five immigrant girls who ranged in age from 9 to 16, according to her staff. Harris then told reporters that migrants don’t want to leave their homes and do so because they are ‘fleeing some type of harm.’”

— From El Paso, CNN’s Jeremy Diamond reports that Harris “accomplished what she came here to achieve: release months of pressure on her to visit the southern border while avoiding igniting any new controversies. … At each of her three stops in El Paso, Harris and her team seemed intent on dutifully going through the motions of an official visit to the border while seeking to create as little noise as possible.”

Though the choice to visit El Paso rather than the Rio Grande Valley was met with criticism from conservatives, SYMONE SANDERS, Harris’ senior adviser and chief spokesperson, says they chose El Paso because it was the “birthplace” of the Trump administration’s family separation policy.

— But here, too, they found themselves in a delicate balance. As Cleve Wootson at WaPo put it: “Harris [faced] sharp criticism from Republicans who claim White House immigration policies are too lax as well as critiques from liberal advocates who argue President Biden is continuing the harsh policies of his predecessor.”

The administration is expected to release a strategy into dealing with the “root causes” of immigration in the coming weeks, and has said that both the trip to Guatemala and trip to the border will inform whatever they come up with.

THE WHITE HOUSE

BIDEN MEETS WITH AFGHAN LEADERS — “Biden vows ‘sustained’ help as Afghanistan drawdown nears,” by AP’s Eric Tucker, Ben Fox and Aamer Madhani: “Afghan President ASHRAF GHANI and ABDULLAH ABDULLAH, chair of the High Council for National Reconciliation, met at the Pentagon with Defense Secretary LLOYD AUSTIN before their sit-down with Biden at the White House later in the afternoon. While Biden vowed that the U.S. was committed to assisting Afghanistan, he also insisted that it was time for the American military to step back.”

POLICY CORNER

UFOS EXIST, WITH AN EMPHASIS ON THE ‘U’ — “Government report can’t explain UFOs, but offers no evidence of aliens,” by Bryan Bender and Andrew Desiderio: “The report — the government’s first unclassified assessment in half a century — does not offer any definitive answers on who or what may be operating a variety of aircraft that, in some cases, appear to defy known characteristics of aerodynamics, and that officials believe pose a threat to national security and flight safety. …

“The Pentagon, assisted by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, found no evidence to indicate that they mark a technological breakthrough by a foreign adversary, or that the objects are of an extraterrestrial origin — though neither explanation has been ruled out in what has been described as a preliminary assessment that lacks sufficient data.”

FRANCE JOINS IN U.S. COLD WAR WITH CHINA — “France and U.S. Agree on the Perils of a Rising China, Blinken Says,” by NYT’s Roger Cohen: “Secretary of State ANTONY J. BLINKEN, speaking in an interview after a meeting with President EMMANUEL MACRON of France, said the United States and France were ‘on the same page’ in their determination to resist the possibility of a Chinese-led world order that would be ‘profoundly illiberal in nature.’ …

“The alternative, [Blinken] suggested, was either no order — a world of chaos that ‘inevitably leads to conflict and that almost inevitably brings us in’ — or Chinese domination. The challenge for democracies was ‘to deliver for their people and hopefully for people around the world’ in order to reinforce a model challenged in recent years by its own internal fractures and by rising autocracies. ‘And I found that President Macron was thinking in exactly the same way and focused on the need to bring practical results,’ Mr. Blinken said.”

CONGRESS

FANONE ‘DISAPPOINTED’ AFTER MCCARTHY MEETING — After several weeks, MICHAEL FANONE, an officer with the Metropolitan Police Department who was beaten unconscious by pro-Trump extremists during the Jan. 6 insurrection and suffered a heart attack, was granted a meeting with House GOP Leader KEVIN MCCARTHY on Friday. “He came away disappointed,” reports the NYT’s Luke Broadwater.

— What Fanone wanted from McCarthy: “I asked him to denounce the 21 House Republicans that voted against the Gold Medal bill, recognizing my co-workers and colleagues that fought to secure the Capitol on Jan. 6,” Fanone said. But more than that, Fanone wanted McCarthy to publicly disavow the misinformation some Republicans are spreading about the attack on the Capitol, including “the baseless theory that the F.B.I. was behind the Jan. 6 insurrection,” and and singled out Rep. ANDREW CLYDE’S (R-Ga.) comparison of the insurrection to a tour of the Capitol as an example of GOP revisionism (“I found those remarks to be disgusting,” Fanone said).

— Fanone on McCarthy: “[McCarthy] said he would address it at a personal level, with some of those members. I think that as the leader of the House Republican Party, it’s important to hear those denouncements publicly.”

— Fanone on some Republicans’ blasé attitude about 1/6: “When you’re that obsessed with gaining power that you’re willing to trample over a bunch of police officers, that’s sickening.”

— Capitol Police Officer HARRY DUNN also attended the meeting, and said McCarthy “had committed to the group that, now that Speaker NANCY PELOSI has said she will move to create a select committee to investigate the riot, he would take seriously the appointment of its Republican members.”

THE WORKING POOR OF CAPITOL HILL — “Lots of congressional staffers make ‘poverty wages’ starting in the low $20,000s. 8 Capitol Hill aides break down how they stretch their paychecks to survive in one of the nation’s most expensive cities,” by Insider’s Kristie-Valerie Hoang and Kayla Epstein: “An entire paycheck going to daycare. Vending-machine ice cream for dinner. Tossing hundreds of dollars at a decade’s worth of credit-card debt. Relying on income-assisted housing to keep a roof over their head.

“These are the real-life budgets of Capitol Hill staffers, whose pay starts in the $20,000s to work demanding jobs in one of the most expensive cities in the country. Ambitious young public servants often accept low wages in exchange for the opportunity to work on historic legislation or assist their communities. … We received an outpouring of responses from staffers at all levels who felt compelled to speak up about what they considered a practice that hinders diversity, favors hires from privileged backgrounds, and drives talented minds to lobbying shops.”

POLITICS ROUNDUP

A SIGH OF RELIEF FOR HOUSE DEMS — “House Dems head off retirement crisis — for now,” by Ally Mutnick and Sarah Ferris: “Six Democrats so far have announced they will be leaving the House in 2022, most in swing districts where the lack of an incumbent likely makes it tougher for the party to hold the seat. Rep. CONOR LAMB of Pennsylvania will likely be added to that list, as he’s expected to jump into his state’s Senate race later this summer.

“But party strategists say that figure is smaller than they expected, delivering a morale boost for Democrats as they brace for a midterm election that could dismantle their narrow majority. And some swing-seat members in Texas, Pennsylvania and Florida — many of whom were openly mulling futures outside the House — are now expected to stay put. … Democratic lawmakers and aides say their party has so far avoided the worst-case scenario, in which their most battle-tested members jump ship even before the redistricting commences.”

BEYOND THE BELTWAY

CHAUVIN SENTENCING — ��Derek Chauvin sentenced to 22.5 years in death of George Floyd,” by CNN’s Ray Sanchez and Eric Levenson: “DEREK CHAUVIN, the former police officer who killed GEORGE FLOYD on a Minneapolis street last year, was sentenced Friday to 22 and half years in prison. Chauvin, in a light gray suit and tie and white shirt, spoke briefly before the sentence was imposed, offering his ‘condolences to the Floyd family.’ Under Minnesota law, Chauvin will have to serve two-thirds of his sentence, or 15 years — and he will be eligible for supervised release for the remaining seven and a half years.”

AZ GOP TO STRIP DEM SEC OF STATE OF POWER — “Arizona poised to enact new election restrictions, strip power from Democratic secretary of state,” by WaPo’s Elise Viebeck: “The Arizona House approved new election restrictions late Thursday — including language intended to curb the power of Democratic Secretary of State KATIE HOBBS — in budget legislation that will soon head to the governor’s desk. The Republican measure seeks to stop Hobbs from playing a role in litigation related to state election rules and allows third parties designated by the legislature to flag ineligible voters for removal from the rolls. The bill also imposes new ballot printing requirements and provides funds for election security and post-election recounts.”

TRUMP CARDS

NEW DETAILS ON TRUMP’S RESPONSE TO CIVIL RIGHTS PROTESTS — “Trump Aides Prepared Insurrection Act Order During Debate Over Protests,” by NYT’s Michael Schmidt and Maggie Haberman: “Responding to interest from President DONALD J. TRUMP, White House aides drafted a proclamation last year to invoke the Insurrection Act in case Mr. Trump moved to take the extraordinary step of deploying active-duty troops in Washington to quell the protests that followed the killing of George Floyd, two senior Trump administration officials said. …

“Trump, enraged by the demonstrations, had told the attorney general, WILLIAM BARR, the defense secretary, MARK T. ESPER, and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff, Gen. MARK A. MILLEY, that he wanted thousands of active-duty troops on the streets of the nation’s capital, one of the officials said. Mr. Trump was talked out of the plan by the three officials. But a separate group of White House staff members wanted to leave open the option for Mr. Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act to call in the military to patrol the streets of the capital. …

“In a statement to The New York Times, [Trump] denied that he had wanted to deploy active-duty troops. ‘It’s absolutely not true and if it was true, I would have done it,’ Mr. Trump said.”

GREAT WEEKEND READS, curated by Ryan Lizza:

— “The Sky Thief: Beebo Russell’s Last Flight,” by Tim Dickinson for Rolling Stone: “How did Beebo Russell — a goofy, God-fearing baggage handler — steal a passenger plane from the Seattle-Tacoma airport and end up alone in a cockpit, with no plan to come down?”

— “Can Ketamine-assisted Therapy Break Through Mental Health Roadblocks?” by Rachel Feltman for Popular Science: “When conventional therapy and drugs fail, a new wave of clinics are helping patients get high.”

— “Critical Race Theory: Public Schools are Taking Back Civic Unity,” by National Review’s Michael Brendan Dougherty: “CRT is not just an attack on the American inheritance of political institutions; it is an attack on the social function of public schools.”

— “Culture War in the K-12 Classroom,” by The Nation’s Jennifer Berkshire: “The Trump-era GOP’s insatiable appetite for red-meat issues has led to a wholesale attack on public education.”

— “Forging an Early Black Politics,” by Sean Wilentz for the New York Review: “The pre-Civil War North was a landscape not of unremitting white supremacy but of persistent struggles over racial justice by both Blacks and whites.”

— “He Thought He Could Outfox the Gig Economy. He Was Wrong,” by Lauren Smiley for Wired: “Jeffrey Fang was a ride-hailing legend, a top earner with relentless hustle. Then his minivan was carjacked — with his kids in the back seat.”

— “The Rise of the $10 Million Disc Golf Celebrity,” by David Gardner for The Ringer: “How much can athletes really make in niche sports? A whole lot more than you might think. Disc golfer Paul McBeth set a new standard by signing an eight-figure endorsement contract—and his deal might only be the beginning.”

A message from the American Investment Council:

This summer looks a lot better because of private equity’s investments over the past year. According to the Wall Street Journal, “private-equity portfolio companies have been involved in nearly every step” of getting people vaccinated against COVID-19. A new report from EY shows that the majority of private equity investment in 2020 went to small businesses. They also helped many of the businesses we know and love – like Baskin Robbins, LegoLand, and BlackRock Coffee – get to the other side of the pandemic poised for new growth and job creation. And the travel industry is rebounding, thanks to private equity investment in companies like Airbnb, RVShare, and Expedia. This year, we’re celebrating summer because of private equity’s investments in our families and communities. Learn more at https://www.investmentcouncil.org/summer.
