Elizabeth Keckley: From Enslavement to the White House
The 小黄片视频 Museum, in partnership with the National First Ladies Library & Museum, held an election day program on November 5, 2024. The program traced the inspiring story of Elizabeth Keckley, who purchased her own freedom from slavery and became a successful entrepreneur and personal couturier to First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln. A cape made by Keckley for Lincoln was displayed at the event, as we uncovered how fashion can illuminate historical narratives, from the lives of First Ladies to often-overlooked histories.
