“The work of the Green Belt Movement stands as a testament to the power of grassroots organizing, proof that one person’s simple idea—that a community should come together to plant trees—can make a difference, first in one village, then in one nation, and now across Africa.”—President Barack Obama #storytime #biographies #childrensstories #childrensbook #readaloud #readaloudtokids #readaloudtochildren #readaloudstorybooks #reading #elementaryschoolreaders #booksforchildren #booksforblackchildren #goodchildrensbooks Wangari Muta Maathai (April 1, 1940 – September 25, 2011) was an internationally renowned political, environmental and social activist. In 1971, she became the first woman in both East and Central Africa to earn a doctorate (University of Nairobi). In 2004, Maathai became the first African woman as well as environmentalist to receive the Nobel Peace Prize. During her lifetime, Maathai worked tirelessly to end the devastation of Kenya's forests and lands caused by development. In 1977, she founded “The Green Belt Movement”, a non-governmental organization focused on environmental conservation, planting trees and women’s rights. Maathai conducted seminars about civic and environmental education and taught women the power of collaboration for peace, economic sustainability and democracy. "Women needed income and they needed resources because theirs were being depleted," Maathai explained to People magazine. "So we decided to solve both problems together." Because of Maathai’s leadership, sacrifice, and commitment, more than 30 million trees have been planted in Kenya. Moreover, over 30,000 women have been empowered with new skills and opportunities.

Araminta "Minty" Ross, who was later known as Harriet Tubman, was born enslaved around 1820. She died in 1913. As a child, Tubman suffered from the brutality and inhumanity of slavery. When she was five years old, she could not sleep during the night because she had to care for a baby. If the child cried, Harriet would be beaten. She was also forced to check muskrat traps in rivers, sometimes even in freezing weather. When she was a teen, a slave owner threw a weight at a man, but it hit Tubman in the head. The injury from this assault caused her to suffer from migraine headaches and uncontrolled sleeping spells. However, after this horrific event, Tubman also began to have what she called, visions from God showing her how to escape slavery. Eventually, Harriet not only achieved freedom, but she returned several to slave plantations to free other people including members of her family. Some historians believe that Tubman helped to emancipate at least 300 people. Amazingly, Tubman worked as a nurse, scout, and spy during the Civil War. This educational video is just a snippet of Tubman’s legacy of courage, resilience, sacrifice, and selflessness. “I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can't say — I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”—Harriet Tubman (1869)
