'The Poet's Vision, Canto I, Laon and Cythna' (cropped) by William Huggins 1852 An oil painting of a young dark-haired woman in a sheer white dress and gold-trimmed bodice, one arm reaching upward and one hand raised to her head as she looks left and up. Soft silvery whites and warm earth tones.

"Cythna sweet,
Well with the world art thou unreconciled;
Never will peace and human nature meet
Till free and equal man and woman greet" …

She replied earnestly:—"It shall be mine,
This task, mine, Laon!

– P. B. Shelley, 'The Revolt of Islam' 1818

I love Black activist Mary Church #Terrell's refusal here to let her (white) readers dismiss her simple reporting of facts as "bitterness." What a powerful way to claim your story.

Turning to international writer, speaker & reformer Mary Church Terrell this #blackhistorymonth, grateful for Alison Parker's excellent biography. #Terrell was often the only Black woman at major #pacifism conferences in the early #19C & articulated a powerful vision of peace through racial justice.
