Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1. Commentary by host Elaine B. Holtz:  In celebration of Mother's Day we are playing a recitation of the Mother's Day Proclamation of Julia Ward Howe of 1870, which was an appeal to women to unite for peace in the world. The collection in baskets of amputated arms and legs of soldiers in the Civil War prompted the Proclamation. We follow this with an updated version by Rivera Sun published by Code Pink for our times. Tina Rogers joins, as a regular every 2nd Monday of the month on Women's Spaces, to present two Black Women in Herstory upon whose shoulders we stand for the rights of women. This month Tina features Sojourner Truth and Charlotte Vandyne Fonten.

2Our guest Tina Rogers talks about two women prominent in Black Herstory: Sojourner Truth and Charlotte Vandyne Fonten. 

Sojourner TruthSojourner Truth (1797 - 1883) was born as Isabella "Belle" Baumfree in Esopus, New York. She was sold three times in slavery, once with sheep, as slaves were legally just another form of property.  Listen to Tina recount the fascinating life of Sojourner Truth, the name Belle changed to at a Methodist Pentecost service for she heard the Spirit call her to preach the truth. In 1851, at the Ohio Women's Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio she made her famous speech Ain't I a Woman, calling for the abolitionism with women's rights. She published her memoirs in 1850, The Narrative of Sojourner Truth: a Northern Slave. Sojourner Truth recruited black soldiers for the Civil War and met with Abraham Lincoln in 1864.

Charlotte Vandyne FontenTina Rogers then shares the story, noting the difference of economic class, of the second woman Charlotte Vandyne Fonten, Sr.  (1785-1884). She was the wife of a prosperous Black merchant and abolitionist James Fonten. Charlotte, James and their 3 daughters were active in founding and funding six abolitionist organizations, including the first bi-racial women abolitionist organization, the Female Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia, and were conductors of the Underground Railroad ferreting slaves to freedom and educated slaves after the Civil War.

Juneteenth

Tina Rogers ends the segment by announcing the annual Juneteenth Celebration of Diversity and Inclusion in Sonoma County will be by zoom on Saturday, June 19, 2021, which commemorates the Blacks in Galveston being notified by a federal Major landing with Union soldiers on June 19, 1865, some 2-1/2 years after the Emancipation Proclamation, that they were indeed free. And the event is free, family oriented and open to the public. Registration will occur at www.sonomacountyjuneteenth.com
