Mary Ellen Pleasant was an entrepreneur, abolitionist, and one of the most powerful women of the 19th century. From her early years navigating the Underground Railroad to amassing a fortune in San Francisco, Mary Ellen used her wealth and influence to fight for civil rights, challenge racial injustice, and shape the future for Black Americans. But history hasn’t always been kind to her legacy—was she a fearless activist, a savvy businesswoman, or something more? Join us as we unravel the fascinating, and often overlooked, story of the woman known as the "Mother of Civil Rights in California."
