Martha Gruening

Martha Gruening (1889–1937) was an American writer and civil rights activist. She graduated from Smith College in 1909. After college, Gruening went to Greenwich Village in New York, where she became a relentless political agitator. She wrote and edited the Dawn, a pacifist magazine, served as the assistant secretary to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and wrote reports on national events for the association. She eventually moved to France and continued to advocate for the rights of black men and women until her death.[1][2]
