To celebrate Juneteenth, I wanted to bring attention to women who were very influential in our history. From abolition of slavery to voting rights, from equal education for all to the end of segregation, these women fought with their lives to ensure equality for black women in America.
They were mothers and daughters who weren't afraid to stand up for justice.
It was hard to pick just five as there were so many who contributed to make our world a better place not just for women and blacks but for every generation to come.

I also got my cranberry hibiscus at Echo in Ft. Myers over 13 years ago and I love that they still pop up in my yard. I've been trying to find the exact macros this plant provides to your diet but all I ever come up with is info on either the tea or the flowers. I use the leaves in my salads daily when its growing fresh in my yard. I do prefer the smaller leaves for salad. Any additional info you may have is appreciated!
