Credit to @afro.american1 : ๐๐๐ Congratulations to 99 year old Afro-American educator and WWII veteran, Elizabeth Barker Johnson. She finally walked the stage at graduation to formally accept her degree 70 years after completing college. I read that she survived bombings in France while in the military, racism in America, raised her family and was a pioneering Teacher for 40 years. ๐ Our people really are the sh*t!!! #blackexcellence #AfroAmerican #blackwomen #blackgirlmagic #blackpioneers #blackeducators #blackveterans #ourelders #winstonsalem #hbcu #elizabethbarkerjohnson (at St. Louis Lambert International Airport) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXIb-1ByAt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qokafu65r320
