The Sarah Garnet School
Description
Wow! How great. Very appropriate, since Sarah Garnet was the 1st Black woman principal of an NYC public school. She led PS80 for almost 40 years, and devoted her last decade to suffrage. Thank you @rauldougou for sharing this - and for making sure #IdaBWells is honored in Bklyn!
.@PS9BklynPTO deserves a shout out on #IWD2020. The school renamed itself—timed 4 #suffragecentenial— after Sarah Smith Garnet, cofounder of 1st #BlackSuffragist club.#womensvotes100
