Another powerhouse trailblazer gone, but not forgotten. Selected this photo to share because you can rarely go wrong with an Ernest Withers photo. #RIPTinaTurner
A flower for Tina. This 1962 Ernest Withers photo of Tina Turner, currently on display at the Library's Not An Ostrich photography exhibition, is larger than life. Just like she was. May she rest in peace.

A bit late with this tribute but will always remember Mrs. Viola Liuzzo (April 11, 1925-March 25, 1965) a martyr and saint of the civil rights movement. @AntheRhodes @harpmaster1 #justice #voters #phenomenalwoman

She's "the first," but she won't remain "the only" forever
The only woman in the @baseballhall is Effa Manley, co-owner of the Brooklyn/Newark Eagles of the Negro N.L., '35-'48. The HOF inducted her in '06 for her astute management of the Eagles as well as her many civil rights contributions #WomenInBaseballWeek
