The Brooklyn couple decided to show and tell their daughter about the story. To do this, they started a project The black heroines project, in which they created a series of photographs with little Lily trying on the images of famous African American women.
Photographer Mark Bushel (Marc Bushelle) and his wife Janine wanted their project not only to tell their daughter Lily about the brave and strong-minded black women, but also to contribute to the education of other children. "," - says the girl's father Mark.
To date, Lily has managed to try on the image of the first black female pilot Bessie Coleman, singer Queen Latif, the first black female astronaut May Jamison and others. Later when the project The black heroines project gained popularity, the girl's parents Mark and Janine decided to expand the list of names to include women of other races. For example, little Lily played the role of 17-year-old Yusufzai Malala, a Pakistani human rights activist who advocates for the availability of education for women around the world, as well as Mother Teresa.
The project turned out to be really instructive, and, thanks to it, the names of women who made a significant contribution to the history of mankind again became heard. History knows many examples of courageous actions of representatives of the "fairer sex", such as the activities of the heroines of our review " 20 strong women who changed the course of history".
