Born into slavery, Lucy F. Simms was a pioneering Black educator in the Shenandoah Valley, where she is estimated to have taught more than 1,800 students over a 56-year career. Shortly after her death, a new African-American school in Harrisonburg was named in her honor. https://t.co/ISbCwfVynT — PolitiTweet.org
