Hilariously true, yet not funny too.

Mary Fields was born on May 15, 1832. She was an Afrikan entrepreneur and stagecoach driver.

Mary Fields, also known as Stagecoach Mary was the first Afrikan woman employed as a mail carrier in the United States, and just the second Amerikkkan woman to work for the United States Postal Service.

Fields stood 6 feet tall and weighed about 200 lbs., liked to smoke cigars, and was once said to be as "black as a burnt-over prairie." She usually had a pistol strapped under her apron and a jug of whiskey by her side.

Born enslaved in Hickman County, Tennessee, Fields was freed when Amerikkkan slavery was outlawed in 1865.

She then worked in the home of Judge Edmund Dunne. When Dunne's wife died, Fields took the family's five children to their aunt, Mother Mary Amadeus, the mother superior of an Ursuline convent in Toledo, Ohio. In 1884, Mother Amadeus was sent to Montana Territory to establish a school for Native American girls at St. Peter's Mission, west of Cascade. Learning that Amadeus was ill, Fields hurried to Montana to nurse her. Amadeus recovered and Fields stayed at St. Peter's hauling freight, doing laundry, growing vegetables, tending chickens, repairing buildings and eventually becoming the forewoman.

The Native Americans called Fields "White Crow" because "she acts like a white woman but has black skin." Local whites did not know what to make of her. One schoolgirl wrote an essay saying: "she drinks whiskey, and she swears, and she is a republican, which makes her a low, foul creature." In 1894, after several complaints and an incident with a disgruntled male subordinate that involved gunplay,the bishop ordered her to leave the convent.

Mother Amadeus helped her open a restaurant in nearby Cascade. Fields would serve food to anyone, whether they could pay or not, and the restaurant went broke in about ten months.

In 1895, although approximately 60 years old, Fields was hired as a mail carrier because she was the fastest applicant to hitch a team of six horses. She drove the route with horses and a mule named Moses. She never missed a day, and her reliability earned her the nickname "Stagecoach." If the snow was too deep for her horses, Fields delivered the mail on snowshoes, carrying the sacks on her shoulders. She and her mule, Moses, never missed a day, and it was in this aptitude that she became a legend in her own time known as Stagecoach Mary for her unfailing reliability. She died in 1914 in Cascade, Montana. Her grave is marked with a simple cross.

Fields was a respected public figure in Cascade, and on her birthday each year the town closed its schools to celebrate. When Montana passed a law forbidding women to enter saloons, the mayor of Cascade granted her an exemption.

"Before Kevinia Francis crossed the Atlantic Ocean in a small rowboat, she couldn’t even swim. 'That, according to everybody, should have been a deterrent to taking on this challenge,' said Francis. 'Don’t let your fears deter you from achieving your goal.'"

That is how our Ancestors did it. There are documented currents that will take a boat with no sails or other power source directly from the Caribbeans to Afrika and the Canary currents will bring one directly from Afrika to the Caribbean. Read they came before columbus by Dr Van Sertima for details. Thor Heyerdal had a Papyrus Reed boat made that was identical to the ones Nile Valley Afrikans used and crossed from W. Afrika to the Caribbean in the 90s. He had no sail or oars. the current bought him there. Big up to the Empresses.

The kkkops who killed Oscar Grant lied. Nothing new about this. "Fighting for" or being "afraid for" my life, is the phrase they use after they've killed Us.

And they get away with it each time. Now teachers in FL will legally gun down our children and be covered and protected under law.
