Born 2 decades before women could vote, Dr. Sadie Tanner Mossell Alexander was a fighter. She was the FIRST Black woman to receive a Ph.D. in America; the FIRST Black-American to receive a Ph.D. in Economics from UPenn; the FIRST Black woman to enroll & earn a law degree from UPenn; the FIRST Black woman admitted to PA bar; & the FIRST woman to hold national office in the National Bar Association.

Something I keep thinking about:

The excessive heat warnings across the country today, and the people relying on Twitter to get information cooling centers, free water, etc.

If you run a social media account for an elected/agency, please bring up to your bosses that now is the time to start building up your platforms outside of Twitter too.
