I’m so glad you enjoyed it and found this website. I have specialized in stories like that. If you follow this link, you’ll find many stories about inspirational women. https://americacomesalive.com/category/inspirational-women/
And this link will take you to stories of Black leaders who have not been recognized—both men and women https://americacomesalive.com/category/black-leaders/ If you scroll down below the Juneteenth story, you’ll find many many stories of inventiveness and bravery.
Thank you for posting.

One difficulty is that bios of women and blacks are hard to get. Here there is both!! If any of you know of other bios similar to this, PLEASE SHARE !!
In advance, many thanks !

Yes, they have… and this site was one of the first to begin to bring Black cowboys to the fore. So many were out there and were experts at riding and ranching, and yet the stories were all of white men.
Thank you for posting!

It was a different time, and Mary Fields looks very capable of dealing with any threats might have come her way. Thanks for reading.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I did not know about the statue of Mary Fields but I will do some looking around to see if I can find a photo of it.

She was an amazing woman.

S mail deliveries.
The location is in Montana. The person I am referring to is MARY FIELDS, the first African American to be hired by the government. I am responding to an article written by you.
