History
A real Wild West pioneer you may not have learned about in grade school history books, Biddy Mason went from being a slave in Georgia to a landowner in downtown Los Angeles. Her story is a triumphant one, but it also demonstrates the need for people to call out racism so that all people have the opportunity to find success like Biddy did. Follow Hadley on Twitter.
