September is Underground Railroad Month, a time to honor the secret network that helped thousands of enslaved people find freedom. Beginning in the late 18th century, the Underground Railroad was made up of safe houses, hidden routes, and courageous men and women who risked everything to challenge slavery. Figures such as William Still, Laura Haviland, Jermaine Loguen, and Lewis Hayden provided shelter, guidance, and hope to freedom seekers.

For many states, September also represents International Underground Railroad Month. Maryland first proclaimed it in 2019, and by 2020, Maryland and Michigan worked with the National Park Service’s National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom to encourage more states to join in honoring this history. September was chosen because it marks the month that two of the most well-known freedom seekers and Underground Railroad operatives, Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, escaped from slavery. This month we remember their sacrifices and the powerful legacy of resistance they left behind.

The Mountaintop

We lift every voice and sing — The name of a Black Woman who stood at the mountaintop. With audacity that reflected off the glass ceilings that shattered when you spoke her name.

Kamala Devi Harris. You stood. Standing in the spirit of Shirley Chisolm, Unbought, Unbossed and Undenying.
You dreamed. The girl who would not be deferred and went on to write a letter to the world with a signature that now reads — It’s Possible.

It’s Possible for a Black girl from Oakland, California, to see the mountaintop. And when she gets there to take the world off her shoulders and sit. Sitting in the resilience of Fannie Lou Hammer, you took the world by Storm. Never going Rogue and letting anyone take you out of character.

You laughed. You filled rooms with hope and integrity and lit paths with perseverance. You opened. Doors that had been closed. You stepped — Over walls that had been built.

You climbed. The Mount Everest of expectations with a smile that sat at the intersection of joy and justice. Because a country built in spite of you, you stood in spite of.

You are the embodiment of what can be, unburdened by what has been. Rest in the knowing that you are ours.

We thank you for the view from your moutaintop.

Wild. You grow up loving ice cream and cookies. You don’t drink and people think you’re a nerd because you order ice cream over dessert wine after dinner. You have multiple pints in your freezer at all times. Then, this. It pays to be an ice cream geek! Beyond their sweet treats, I’ve long admired for using their brand to amplify what they believe - that justice and dignity belongs to all. So, I’m thrilled to have created the newest permanent flavor of deliciousness with these good folks. From food chemistry to retail store rhythms, I’ve learned a lot from the wonderful team there. LIGHTS! CARAMEL! ACTION! does two things. It makes you swoon because it’s downright yummy with all of my fave ingredients. And it benefits the work of ’s non-profit, ARRAY ALLIANCE. Double goodness with dairy and non-dairy options coming to a freezer near you in January! A sincere thank you to my comrade for dreaming things for me that I never dreamed. This is so much dang fun - for a cause that’s near and dear to my heart. xo

Happy Birthday to our Shero, Dr. Anna Julia Cooper!! Read about her phenomenal life below.

in 1858 in Raleigh, NC, Anna Julia Cooper was born to an enslaved mother. Following the Civil War, a young Cooper won admission to St. Augustine's Normal School and Collegiate Institute where she trained to become a teacher. She went on to attend Oberlin College in classes separated by gender.

Unsatisfied with the quality of classes offered to women students, Cooper petitioned college officials to allow her to take men’s courses. Her request was successful, and she went on to receive her B.A. and M.A. from Oberlin. ⁣

Cooper moved to Washington, D.C. and taught at the Washington Colored High School (later Dunbar High School), the only all-Black school in the city. She eventually became its principal. Active in the community, she founded the Colored Women’s League of Washington in 1892.⁣

That same year, Cooper also published “A Voice from the South,” a book that dissected the intersections of race and gender. This work is largely considered one of the first pieces from a Black feminist. Years later she opened the first YWCA chapter for Black women. Cooper became the fourth Black woman to receive a doctoral degree in the United States when she completed her Ph.D. from Universite de Paris (Sorbonne) in 1925.

Cooper was part of a community of Black club women who worked to improve African Americans’ social, economic, and political status through education, work, service, and activism. Learn more in the “Making a Way Out of No Way” exhibition on our Searchable Museum: https://s.si.edu/3zKNzPp ⁣
