Known as "The Mother of Human Rights in California," what class-act entrepreneur drove her business to success against all odds?
Answer Mary Ellen Pleasant
As told by Artemis Pebdani, Mary Ellen Pleasant (played by Lisa Bonet) is better known as "The Mother of Human Rights in California". This is because Pleasant went from living in servitude and working on the Underground Railroad to becoming a successful entrepreneur, real estate magnate, and financier. She fought for civil rights and definitely earned that nickname. Pleasant is the picture of the American Dream.
