For this year's Black History Month, we want to share stories about African-American men and women who you may not know about. It's so important for us to have stories of hope, stories of people who changed American history that our scholars, collegians and team members can all look up to. Today we're learning about Fanny Jackson Coppin. She was one of the first Black women to be named principal of a school when she accepted the role at the the Institute for Colored Youth in... Philadelphia in 1869. Fanny was freed from slavery at the age of 12 after her aunt bought her freedom for $125. Fanny knew from a young age how important education would be for future generations of young people of color. She never gave up, and impacted the lives of hundreds as an educator and mentor. . . . #BlackHistoryMonth #boyshopegirlshope #bhgh #fannycoppin See more
