Madie Hall Zuma.
You might not know her name or her accomplishments, but Hall Zuma was an influential activist. 
As a Black woman who was born and raised in America’s Jim Crow South (Winston-Salem, North Carolina), she would become an educator and then the wife of the first president of South Africa’s African National Congress (ANC). She went on to lead the ANC’s Women’s League and helped to organize South African self-help clubs affiliated with the worldwide YWCA.
