Preferred term

Mary White Ovington  

Definition

  • The singularity of Mary White Ovington's presence in U.S. history is accounted for by the consistency and fullness of her dedication to the wide cause of integration: initially of immigrant white working-class people, and later, and for the better part of her life, of black Americans. As a white woman, her pioneer status in the championship of racial equality is unparalleled. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Ovington, Mary White (1865–1951)]
