  • Summary

  • “In her diary, Charlotte was fierce.’” 

    —Jasmine Holmes


    In this episode of Carved in Ebony, Jasmine Holmes and Abena Ansah-Wright discuss Charlotte Forten Grimké, an educator, poet, essayist, and anti-slavery activist. Born into an active abolitionist family in Philadelphia, Grimké became a teacher, and was later asked to teach newly emancipated people on the Sea Islands in North Carolina. While teaching there, Grimké collected folklore and wrote about the customs on the island, and published essays about her time on the island.
