Starting off Women's Herstory Month with the one and only Nina Simone.
Have you heard of Liberian Calypso?
Did you know she lived in Liberia with her daughter?
"She was forty-one when she first landed at Robertsfield International Airport, her twelve-year-old daughter Lisa in tow, their belongings—clothes, books, records—packed into the belly of a Pan Am jet. Six years had passed since Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination; nine since Simone had belted out protest songs during the Selma to Montgomery voting-rights march." - written by Katherina Grace Thomas
