Hi friends, happy Thursday!
Do you know the other woman who was a huge force behind the Underground railroad? I know what you're thinking, and no… I’m not talking about Harriet Tubman. Turns out there's another person we rarely talk about. And the Underground Railroad is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to her accomplishments.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.

I just started this video but I just want to say that as someone with a degree in Social and Cultural Analysis from New York University (which included a class entirely on Black feminism), I can't believe this is the first time in my life I'm hearing this woman's name. YOU'RE DOING SUCH IMPORTANT WORK, BAILEY! And I'm not even paying you a quarter milli in tuition 🤯

Interesting, 10 years prior to the Civil War it was fomenting. In the North East now, the saying, “John Brown’s dead” is a battle cry for the Union. I saw it on internet posts during the time when people were threatening civil unrest in the US today.

Bailey... I freaking love you! You have (pretty much) single handedly made me distrust my government and every history book I've ever read. You really should compile a dark history book with all the episodes you've done. You could release one every season! I would proudly display my Encyclopedia de Bailey on my bookshelf!

Thanks for sharing Mary Ellen Pleasant's story Bailey. Her story made me think of Maggie Lena Walker, who was the first Black woman to charter a bank. She also was a business woman who gave fellow Black women opportunities to work outside of the traditional housekeeping jobs and encouraged young and old to save their money. Her story is interesting if you have a chance to look into it.
I love that Bailey is never afraid to go there. YOU KNOW WHERE.
You gave Mama Plesant the ending she deserved. I love history and have heard the story of John Brown and Harper's Ferry. This is the first ever heard of Ms. Pleasant. ✌️
I'm so thankful that you're out here telling the truth in your Dark history podcasts. This kind of story makes my blood boil so, it needs to be said loud and clear! When I think of the sheer lack of power afforded to them, the complete lack of empathy for another human, it eats away at me. We have come a long way but not nearly far enough.
That was quite a remarkable story. A movie needs to be made.

"I'd rather be a corpse than a coward" is giving the same energy as my favorite Spanish motto "Antes muerte que sencillo" or death before dull
You should do a dark history on Bonnie and Clyde! I always thought it was wild how the townspeople tore the possessions/clothes off of them when they were brought into town after the shooting!

Everyday im learning something new school never thought me or I haven’t heard of. I’m glad there’s people like you teaching us our own history that we need to know. She sounds like an amazing woman. People should know her story. Now I do, thank you.
Normally a MMM viewer because I’m well-versed in a lot of your topics here, but I am ever so excited to dive into this video specifically!! Love the work you do girl, keep it up 🖤
Thank you for highlighting Mary’s story. So many can get forgotten about but they are just as important.
Will you do the life history of Sarah Rector. She was an African American girl given 160 at 11 years of age in 1906. It was thought to be not so great land, but she struck oil and became one of the 1st African American millionaires in her era. Please do a video on her. I love your channels. You are such a great story teller.
I soooo wanted this to have a happy ending…. 😢 What an incredible story!
Rather be a corpse than a coward ❤ What an amazing woman all around!!! So brave with a heart of Gold and platinum 💛 ✨️ 💖
I'm 50 years old and I have never heard this story! I'm learning so many things I didn't know.

maaaaaybe it's because I've watched for so long, but, I can definitely hear the difference as you speak. had you not pointed out your nasal complications prior to surgery, I never would've known. very well done👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿. I'm glad that you were finally able to get that corrected.🎉

How about discussing the cruelty of ear cropping, tail docking, and dewclaw removal, along with it? As a prior vet tech, I’m shocked it’s still legal in the USA to surgically alter your dog’s features for looks! Not only is it horribly painful to the puppies, but it can put them at a disadvantage. All because people want a certain look, but don’t want to take the proper care to breed that trait through the selective breeding of generations. 😢

Thank you for sharing this, I believe I have heard of her before, but as school brings up the underground railroad, like you said Harriet Tubman is the first you remember. Thank you for sharing, much love to you.
I look forward to Dark History every week and it gets me through my cardio at the gym. Love listening to you. I’m from East Tennessee and would love for you to cover the history of the Hatfield and McCoys family feud ❤

I lived across the street from the site of her home in SF for almost 10 years. I discovered her story through the huge plaque on the ground between the gigantic trees that she planted with her own hands. She was and is and amazing woman! If anyone wants to visit, the original trees and site of her home are across the street from the Queen Anne hotel (and former girls school) in Lower Pacific Heights. 💜💜💜
Thank you for sharing this story!
Enjoyed this one;) Harriet Tubman actually has a house in Dorchester county Maryland and so does Annie Oakley ! ;) . .... ...
Thanks for bringing this great story to light, when so many people try to cover up history❤
Hey Bailey! It would be great if you could do an episode about the 'Starlight Tours' or Saskatoon freezing deaths caused by the RCMP in Canada. Love your show!!

Just this week found out about her. Amazing woman. Thanks for telling her story.
Belle Star ran around this area a lot . About an hour from here is Robber's Cave State Park - a short hike uphill and you can explore the actual cave. The whole area is breathtaking and worth a visit. You can rent a cabin, ride in a paddle boat, swim, or take a horse on the trails. If you go in the fall, it's spectacular to see the colors of the leaves all over the hills/mountains.
You make my awful work day Thursdays, into great Bailey evenings!!!! Shmaaaank youuuuu!!!! And totally looking forward to the Cowgirl episode!!! 🥰🖤✨️
Mixed history is not only black history but also, obviously, mixed history. We need these stories remembered and told as representation for our community so thank you, Bailey.
