“Mary Eliza Church Terrell was a renowned educator and speaker who campaigned fearlessly for women’s suffrage and the social equality of African Americans… Terrell, along with journalist Ida B. Wells, organized anti-lynching campaigns to mobilize advocates and generate awareness… Terrell was an active member of the National Association of Women’s Suffrage Act (NAWSA), where she worked alongside the organization’s founder, Susan B. Anthony. Terrell … was the only woman of African descent invited to speak at the [International Congress of Women in Berlin in 1904]. She delivered her speeches in German, French, and English, receiving a standing ovation from the audience.” (Smithsonian)
