Pause For Thought
From Sarah Joseph, Editor of a Muslim lifestyle magazine:
Today is Harriet Tubman Day.
Now I had never heard of Harriet Tubman until her story appeared in a
time-travel series I was watching. After watching the show, I looked her up.
She was AMAZING!
An opponent of slavery, and a political activist, she herself was born into
slavery in America almost two hundred years ago. She escaped and then rescued
others - making some 13 missions to rescue slaves. She also served as an armed
scout and spy for the Union Army in the American civil war. And before her death
on this day in 1913, she campaigned for the right for women to vote. She really
was an extraordinary woman. A film about her life came out last year.
听
There鈥檚 another extraordinary black American woman I鈥檇 never heard of until her
story was told in the film, Hidden Figures. Katherine Goble Johnson died a
couple of weeks ago. Her astonishing mathematical skills were critical to the
success of the first US manned space flights, and many more space missions
thereafter.
听
Harriet Tubman and Katherine Goble Johnson are just two black American women
who are only now beginning to enter public consciousness through the medium of
film. My education certainly never brought their contributions to light before
that.
听
I grew up in a time when there weren鈥檛 that many female role models, let alone
Black female role models. I barely read about women who went to university.
Female doctors, politicians, and business women were few and far between. As
for slavery busting activists and NASA mathematicians, who had to break through
sexism AND racism! These women were unheard of!
Our world has been shaped by all sorts of contributions from all sorts of
different types of people. So many of the innovations that make up our modern
world came into being from surprising places.
听
As a Muslim I have made myself familiar with the contributions to the great
body of global knowledge that Muslims have made, whilst recognising that
knowledge builds on the shoulders of giants.
I reckon it鈥檚 important to recognise the great contributions made by a whole
host of varied humans that give us our world today. Maybe if we can recognise
that we have a shared human history, we鈥檒l feel we have a stronger shared human
future.
