Who's your favorite black/African American heroine?

There is such an array of Black/African American heroines, it's hard for me to have a favorite....I look too, in my own family of women who are my personal heroines. They are all satires of uniquess of strength, grace, beauty and hope. Thanks for blogging this poll we so often forget women (no matter what races or creeds) have faced many tough challenges and have overcome. We still do today.

By the way....Congratulations on your new book! Much success.

Rosa park for her braveness and her willingness to stand her grounds.
