Mary Lou Irving (1883-1939) was one of the first midwives to be licensed in the City of Savannah and Georgia. A lifelong resident of Yamacraw village, she worked as a nurse and midwife for 21 years delivering “half the babies in Yamacraw” according to neighbors and descendants.

Margaret Charles Smith was educated in rural Alabama, where she acquired a fifth-grade education by attending school three months out of the year it was held. She learned her calling by becoming an apprentice to an older midwife and attending training courses. #Blackhistory

In 1964, Margaret (Hayes) Jordan made Georgetown history, becoming the first African American student to graduate with a BSN from the School of Nursing.

Just a few points I made during my lecture today titled, The Importance of Black Midwifery: Then and Now.
The erasure of the Black Traditional Midwife was a calculated and strategic effort between White male obstetricians and White female public health nurses.

A note to all care providers:
There is NO mandate to report someone you suspect (or know) has self managed their abortion. In fact, it's in violation of privacy laws, antithetical public health and human rights frameworks and causes harm. #stopcallingthepoliceonpatients #donoharm

ABORTION IS STILL LEGAL. And will fight to make sure that we make decisions about our bodies, families and futures.
Here are some resources if you are considering or need an abortion:
