I looked up her park and from what I understood it's her actual house and garden. I understand why it was labeled a 'park' so her house had to be preserved so her work will forever be remembered.
Unfortunately the house and garden are not included in the "park" which consists of some eucalyptus trees, half a block of cement, and the memorial plaque. Her mansion was demoed in the 1920s and the new house on the property is, I assume, a privately owned home.
That is correct. However, rumor has it that she still haunts it. I took a picture at night there and it came out with an orb! Also, apparently a guy who had slave owners in his family tree was harassed by her ghost on a walking tour once :) Once a BAMF...always a BAMF!
Watching Lisa Bonet mouth "that wasn't me farting" with a concerned look on her face will be that highlight of my week. Don't know how she didn't break on that line.
Damn, this was fascinating. I knew some of Mary Pleasant's story, but not a lot of detail. She would be cited as a historical figure for Black History Month, but these references omitted that she had passed for white. She did not list herself as black until after the Civil War; it would not have been safe to do so before this. And obviously and sadly, she was labeled as "Mammy" by racists whites to make sure that she would be shunned by the white society that she previously moved in more freely. One estimate of her wealth put $30 million as equivalent to $647 million in 2017.
@@daniellejackson5439 A great deal of her wealth was consumed in various court battles. She sued San Francisco for having segregated street cars. She won, but the case took a couple of years to resolve. She tried to help a socialite in a marriage case against a powerful former senator. She was involved in a case against the family of her former business associate, Thomas Bell. It was all kind of sad, and the San Francisco high society types who loved her when they thought she was white largely turned against her.
Schools can’t teach all of this, unless you want to be in high school until your 50s. They can’t just cover every single person that did something in history
@DroidXPhone A highly interesting man. Whenever I think of the question "Dead or alive; who would you like to have dinner with?" I think of him. Because I'd love to pick his brain and figure out everything that motivated him to not be content with his privileges as a white man, and go to battle for such a cause. I heard it be alluded that he felt God had chosen and guided him to do what he did. But I'd like to hear his own words.
@@maybewise He took the phrase "I'd kill for [insert cause here] " and he actually took it there. A righteous anger borne from the unlawful death of a dear friend, Elijah P. Lovejoy, who was an abolitionist. He was John Wick and Lovejoy was his dog.
When I was growing up, I was like, why would this White man give up his life for BLACKS, they made it seem like John Brown was just a crazy man. I think he was one of the most interesting people in UNITED STATES history.
Afro-Indio so serious for someone watching a drunk account of history. A high % of us were biracial. What she did was to empower blacks. That’s black history. If others have to research the subgroup before telling the story, I doubt anyone will be inclined to share even more about our rich history and others won’t be interested. The divisiveness is exhausting
Divyne Luv then you’re defeating the purpose of claiming to empower culture. if you don’t get the full true source of the history you’ll never be able to empower and congregate the culture to its rightful place.
No Lisa Bonet slander will be tolerated, period. She was one of my 1st girl crushes (after Vanity) and she's f-ing talented af and beautiful. She produces gorgeous children and bags THE HOTTEST men....I'm forever a fan!
I love the attitude of the narrator ❤️. All players were great. Lisa BonNet acting was exceptionally well without talking out loud👍! Funny as hell 😂😂😂😂.
Watching Lisa Bonet lip sync curse words and all that other stuff made me lose my sh*t 😅😆🤣 I'm a BIG fan of Lisa Bonet 😊 I enjoyed this, and i learned something.
I did! Angry Black Female Ghost. Also that the rumors included the common most sickening misconception about us: we're the most promiscuous of the 'races.' That's by far the most laughable one to me.
anyius ringer if you believe in ghosts and believe this woman haunts that park, then yes she would have had to have been angry, all ghosts are. spirits only haunt when they are unsettled or have rage and anger in them they didn’t resolve before passing.
Cool episode and with no less than Lisa Bonet! I love that you featured this fascinating facet of black history. I live mere blocks from Sanford Street Free Church, in Springfield MA, founded by John Brown. There's a pillar honoring him at the end of my street.
Thx 4 highlighting one of my sheroes, Mary Ellen Pleasant. I teach (Entrepreneurship/Financial Literacy) and mention her (radio). I first read of her in a book about Blacks who settled the West. When California was and did become a state the racism negatively affected her, other Blacks and Mexicans. Their businesses and finances suffered.
Thank you for telling us that phenomenal story.🏆🏆🏆 I Love Lisa Binet even more now. What a great actor she is. She had so much pride playing this role. I can’t wait to see her next projects.
I love reading about these people after the episode, what a woman Mary Ellen Pleasant was, bless, I hope her actions are remembered as those of extremely beautiful quality, and devout integrity.
Award: Best obviously drunk Narrator. "That wasn't me farting, it was the chair." I feel her hangover. Best subject I never heard of and am grateful that's changed. Best use of the LOVELY Lisa "Moon" Bonet Momoa in a while. (Lip-syncing the fart remark with the precise amount of delicate Victorian dismay, not to mention the cursing.) Best use of supporting cast. And lastly, most number of my laughs ever in a Drunk History episode. Good job!
There’s so much I’m STILL learning! That’s why it’s imperative for us to keep teaching and not fall for the lie that we will stay “stuck in the past” if we revisit it...If anything we will never move forward if we don’t know where we came from and continue to learn from the past....PARENTS, please don’t drop the ball when it comes to making sure you and your children are educated about African American History! There are so many resource now, even on social media. You can not rely on the education system to teach them correctly!
