December 21, 2020: AmericanWishing: Inspiring Figures

[As this godawful year nears its close, we could all use some positivity. So for my annual series of wishes for the AmericanStudies Elves, I wanted to highlight hopeful figures, texts, histories, and stories we should all better remember in the new year. Leading up to a weekend post featuring a more personal hope!]

Six amazing Americans whose stories could inspire us all:

1)      Elizabeth Freeman and Quock Walker

2)      Yung Wing

3)      Ida B. Wells

4)      Zitkala-Ša

5)      Dolores Huerta

Next wish tomorrow,

Ben

PS. What do you think? Figures we should better remember?
