"Born in 1805 in Jamaica, Mary Seacole was a pioneering nurse. As a child, Mary learned traditional healing methods from her mother. Her mixed race family had few civil rights & could not vote, hold public office or enter many professions. Known as 'Mother Seacole’ during the Crimean War, Mary helped wounded soldiers heal & find comfort. In 1857, she published her memoirs, 'The Wonderful Adventures of Mrs Seacole in Many Lands'. https://www.maryseacoletrust.org.uk/learn-about-mary/ #HistoryRemix #history #sc
