Jane Fonda is one of the few white liberal celebrities who actually puts actions behind her words. She adopted the daughter of a Black Panther who went to prison. She used money from her workout videos to fund her activism. She supported gay rights in the 1970s.

Happy Elizabeth Peratrovich Day! Ḵaax̱gal.aat (1911–1958), who was Raven of the Tlingit Lukaax.ádi clan, gave a moving speech that is believed to be a large reason the first civil rights bill for Alaska Natives was passed in 1945. Read more about her here:

archives.alaska.gov/education/pe...

Black and white photo of Elizabeth Peratrovich, a woman with flawless skin, elegant earrings, dark hair and eyes. "Asking you to give me equal rights implies that they are yours to give. Instead I must demand that you stop trying to deny me the rights all people deserve." Born in 1911, she was an equal rights advocate for all Alaska Natives and helped pass the first anti-discrimination law in the US

Elizabeth Peratrovich quote: "I would not have expected that I, who am barely out of 'savagery', would have to remind gentlemen with five thousand years of recorded civilization behind them, of our bill of rights." Cartoon of Tlingit woman draped in a red shawl with a raven on it, her hair in a red bandana, posed with her arm flexed. Alaska scene behind her with a bill dozer, signs including one that says HB77

Honoring Elizabeth Peratrovich, Tlingit civil rights activist, today and her powerful words: "Asking you to give me equal rights implies that they are yours to give. Instead, I must demand that you stop trying to deny me the rights all people deserve."
