Elizabeth Lange


Lange was a fascinating product of the Haitian Revolution. She moved to Cuba as a result of the Haitian Revolution, then settled in Baltimore where she started the first black sister organization in the Catholic Church (as well as educating black students). Lange's life demonstrates the links connecting different areas of the Black Atlantic, and thus an appropriate historical figure to learn about this month.
