"We gotta speak up for the ones who've been told to shut up," sings Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s in this tribute. "Oh Nellie, take us all around the world and break those rules cause you're our girl."
The song is featured in a lovely Google Doodle created by artist Katy Wu that was posted today in honor of Nellie Bly’s birthday.

“I come from a family that revels in storytelling. Whether the story was joyful, elegiac, painful or cautionary, I grew up hearing, seeing, and listening to family stories that were only told if they could be performed with as much blood, life, exuberance, and expressiveness as possible. Many of these stories grew out of personal journeys experienced against the backdrop of Jim Crow, the Great Migration, and the Civil Rights Movement. As an heir to this oral tradition, my dramatic writing has become a natural outgrowth of the marriage of my filial storytelling traditions and the unique culture of African-American life in the Midwest. As new explorations of multiculturalism, urban life, and ethnic borderlands enter my playwriting, I nevertheless find myself consistently returning to investigations of family, history, and social change in the ever-changing landscape of the American heartland.” Darren Canady, award-winning playwright and one of the keynoters at the 2015 Power of Words Conference

Remember back when we read that story- Genesis- about how God might have made this beautiful world we live in? Does anybody remember what God used in Genesis to make the world? Was it bricks? Was it stones? It was WORDS. God said: LET THERE BE LIGHT. And there was light. God’s words built the world. Maybe the writers of that story wanted us to think about how powerful our words are. God created us in God’s image so, like God, we can use our voices to create beautiful things. Every time we open our mouths and speak we are either saying LET THERE BE LIGHT OR LET THERE BE DARKNESS. When we gossip, when we criticize, when we lie or tell hurtful jokes or use labels that categorize and demean people we are saying: let there be darkness. We create a world around us that is not so beautiful. And then we have to live in it. When we offer a compliment, when we defend a friend or a stranger, when we stick to the truth, when we say speak a kind word to anyone- we are saying: LET THERE BE LIGHT. We are creating a more beautiful world, and then we get to live in it.
