Day 454: An Uncle Lee’s Room “Remember When?” Post! Do you remember when in 1964, the Hamilton v. Alabama court case was decided? #maryhamilton #blackwoman #civilrights #equalprotection #uncleleesroom #rememberwhen #endalz #blackhistory #blackhistorybuttons #1button1day #rebutton
Its historic ruling asserted that Black women were entitled to be addressed with the use of Mrs, Ms or Miss, in the same way as white people #maryhamilton #blackwoman #civilrights #stopracism #equalprotection #settingprecedent #blackhistory #blackhistorybuttons #rebutton
The plaintiff in that case was Miss Mary Hamilton. She was born in Iowa and raised in Colorado where she graduated East Denver high school in 1953 #maryhamilton #blackwoman #blackhistory #blackhistorybuttons #1button1day #rebutton
Mary earned her BS from Briarcliff College in New York and then found her way south to participate in the civil right movement #maryhamilton #blackwoman #civilrights #activist #blackhistory #blackhistorybuttons #1button1day #rebutton
