Josephine Butler, the daughter of sharecroppers and granddaughter of people who were enslaved, fought for DC. She started the first ever union of black women laundry workers, helped lead the integrations of the Adams and Morgan schools, educated children about the hazards of air pollution a generation before the environmental movement began, was a lifelong leader in health care reform, and co-founded the statehood movement for the District of Columbia.
