The Roots of Activism
View through CrossRef
Mary (“Mollie”) Church was born enslaved in 1863 in Memphis, Tennessee. Upon attaining their freedom, Mollie’s parents, Robert Reed Church and Louisa Ayres Church, became business owners. Rioting white Irish police officers targeted Robert Church and many other freedpeople during the 1866 Memphis Massacre. Although shot in the back of the head, Mollie’s father survived. Her family’s history of enslavement and continued terrorism led her to reject the injustices and prejudices so pervasive in United States society. During the Reconstruction era, her parents saw that their brilliant daughter was outpacing the segregated schooling options in Memphis and sent her to the Antioch College Model School in Ohio. Mollie Church graduated with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Oberlin College in the mid-1880s.
