Biddy Mason’s story didn’t end when she won her freedom. She built. She gave. She created a legacy that is still serving people more than a century later. That legacy continues today through the @BiddyMasonFoundation, supporting current and former foster youth in Los Angeles. This is what it looks like when Black history is not just remembered. It is carried forward. #BiddyMason #BlackHistory #BlackWomenInHistory #BlackHistory365 #LosAngelesHistory Sources in comments.

Biddy Mason will be honored by renaming Pershing square after her. We must use this as a tool to teach about her attributes to help inspire the future. Follow her lead and learn about the healing powers of herbs and community connection. We Are The C.U.R.E. #la #losangeles #kcrw #explore

Still celebrating the renaming of Pershing Square to Biddy Mason Square with this trailer for her show we did last month at her church. ⛪️ “If you hold your hand closed, nothing good can come in.
