We love seeing women succeed!

From Ellen Garrison to Kamala Harris, the impact women have on our history is beyond profound.

And while Kamala Harris is busy with her HERstoric campaign trail, the Robbins House hosts a few other women who made history like Deb Haaland, Sojourner Truth, Angela Davis and Septima Poinsette-Clark-all crafted by the talented @sewcialstudiesorg

We took a trip into Boston to visit the Museum of African American History yesterday. For all of the Ellen Garrison nerds out there (you know who you are), this spot is very special to her history. It is the site of the Joy Street Baptist Church.

Ellen lived for more than 20 years in Boston and became involved in the antislavery movement while residing on the North Slope of Beacon Hill. In 1857, in a ceremony performed by the Rev. John T. Raymond, a former pastor of the African
Baptist (Joy Street) Church, Ellen married John W. Jackson, a free black farmer from Delaware. They were married in the sancturary of the Joy Street Church. Both were 34. Her husband died within a few years, however, and by 1863, Ellen Garrison Jackson had moved to Newport, Rhode Island, where she had charge of a small private school. #interns #historyroadtrip
