Today's Black History Month illustration is of Jane Bolin. She was the first Black woman to graduate from Yale Law School and the first Black woman judge in the United States.

Jane Matilda Bolin was born in Poughkeepsie, NY in 1908. She was raised by her father, Gaius, a renowned Black attorney in Dutchess County, NY. Her mother, Matilda, a white Englishwoman, died when she was 8 years old.

In 1924, Bolin attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts, one of two Black students in her class. They were excluded from social activities and because of racial discrimination, they had to find housing off campus.

After she graduated in the top 20 in 1928, she considered applying to Yale Law School. Despite being discouraged by an advisor at Wellesley because she was Black and a woman, she applied to Yale and was accepted. She attained a Juris Doctor degree from Yale in 1931. She was one of three women in her graduating class and the first Black woman to earn a law degree from Yale.

She was a clerk in her father’s law office until she passed the New York bar exam in 1932, the first Black woman to do so. She married Ralph E. Mizelle, a fellow attorney, in 1933 and opened up a practice together in New York City. In 1937, she was named Assistant Corporation Counsel of the City of New York.

Two years later, in a surprise ceremony at the World’s Fair, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia appointed and swore in Bolin as Judge of the Domestic Relations Court (later known as the Family Court). She became the first Black woman judge, and she served on the Family Court bench for 40 years.

Fun fact: as a judge, Bolin didn’t wear judicial robes because she wanted to make children feel comfortable in her court.

During her tenure, Bolin fought against racial discrimination in the courts and advocated for children, especially children of color. She required that probation officers were assigned to cases regardless of race or religion and required that publicly funded childcare agencies accept children regardless of ethnicity.

Bolin reluctantly retired at the age of 70 in 1979. After retiring, she worked as a consultant and school-based volunteer and served on the board of the NAACP, the National Urban League, and the Child Welfare League. She died in 2007 at the age of 98 in Queens, NY.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another illustration and story!

Dead Girls: Essays on Surviving an American Obsession

Alice Bolin

[reasonsforhope]

Hazel Chandler was at home taking care of her son when she began flipping through a document that detailed how burning fossil fuels would soon jeopardize the planet.

She can’t quite remember who gave her the report — this was in 1969 — but the moment stands out to her vividly: After reading a list of extreme climate events that would materialize in the coming decades, she looked down at the baby she was nursing, filled with dread.

 “‘Oh my God, I’ve got to do something,’” she remembered thinking...

It was one of several such moments throughout Chandler’s life that propelled her into activist spaces — against the Vietnam War, for civil rights and women’s rights, and in support of environmental causes.

She participated in letter-writing campaigns and helped gather others to write to legislators about vital pieces of environmental legislation including the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act, passed in 1970 and 1972, respectively. At the child care center she worked at, she helped plan celebrations around the first Earth Day in 1970. 

Now at 78, after working in child care and health care for most of her life, she’s more engaged than ever. In 2015, she began volunteering with Elder Climate Action, which focuses on activating older people to fight for the environment. She then took a job as a consultant for the Union for Concerned Scientists, a nonprofit science advocacy organization. 

More recently, her activism has revolved around her role as the Arizona field coordinator of Moms Clean Air Force, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group. Chandler helps rally volunteers to take action on climate and environmental justice issues, recruiting residents to testify and meet with lawmakers. 

Pictured: Hazel Chandler tables at Environment Day at Wesley Bolin Plaza in front of the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix, Arizona, in January 2024.

Her motivation now is the same as it was decades ago. 

“When I look my grandchildren and my great-grandchildren, my children, in the eye, I have to be able to say, ‘I did everything I could to protect you,’” Chandler said. “I have to be able to tell them that I’ve done everything possible within my ability to help move us forward.” 

Chandler is part of a largely unrecognized contingent of the climate movement in the United States: the climate grannies. 

The most prominent example perhaps, is the actor Jane Fonda. The octogenarian grandmother has been arrested during climate protests a number of times and has her own PAC that funds the campaigns of “climate champions” in local and state elections. 

Climate grannies come equipped with decades of activism experience and aim to pressure the government and corporations to curb fossil fuel emissions. As a result they, alongside women of every age group, are turning out in bigger numbers, both at protests and the polls. All of the climate grandmothers The 19th interviewed for this piece noted one unifying theme: concern for their grandchildren’s futures. 

According to research conducted by Dana R. Fisher, director for the Center of Environment, Community and Equity at American University, while the mainstream environmental movement has typically been dominated by men, women make up 61 percent of climate activists today.  The average age of climate activists was 52 with 24 percent being 69 and older...

A similar trend holds true at the ballot box, according to data collected by the Environmental Voter Project, a nonpartisan organization focused on turning out climate voters in elections. 

A report released by the Environmental Voter Project in December that looked at the patterns of registered voters in 18 different states found that after the Gen Z vote, people 65 and older represent the next largest climate voter group, with older women far exceeding older men in their propensity to list climate as their No. 1 reason for voting. The organization defines climate voters as those who are most likely to list climate change, the environment, or clean air and water as their top political priority.

“Grandmothers are now at the vanguard of today’s climate movement,” said Nathaniel Stinnett, founder of the Environmental Voter Project.

“Older people are three times as likely to list climate as a top priority than middle-aged people. On top of that, women in all age groups are more likely to care about climate than men,” he said. “So you put those two things together … and you can safely say that grandma is much more likely to be a climate voter than your middle-aged man.” 

In Arizona, where Chandler lives, older climate voters make up 231,000 registered voters in the state. The presidential election in the crucial swing state was decided by just 11,000 votes, Stinnett noted.

“Older climate voters can really throw their weight around in Arizona if they organize and if they make sure that everybody goes to the polls,” he said. 

Pictured: Hazel Chandler’s recent activism revolves around her role as the Arizona field coordinator of Moms Clean Air Force, a nonprofit environmental advocacy group.

In some cases, their identities as grandmothers have become an organizing force. 

In California, 1000 Grandmothers for Future Generations formed in 2016, after older women from the Bay Area traveled to be in solidarity with Indigenous grandmothers protesting the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline at the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation. 

“When they came back, they decided to form an organization that would continue to mobilize women on behalf of the climate justice movement,” said Nancy Hollander, a member of the group. 

1000 Grandmothers — in this case, the term encompasses all older women, not just the literal grandmothers — is rooted at the intersection of social justice and the climate crisis, supporting people of color and Indigenous-led causes in the Bay Area. The organization is divided into various working groups, each with a different focus: elections, bank divestments from fossil fuels, legislative work, nonviolent direct actions, among others...

“There are women in the nonviolent direct action part of the organization who really do feel that elder women — it’s their time to stand up and be counted and to get arrested,” Hollander said. “They consider it a historical responsibility and put themselves out there to protect the more vulnerable.” 

But 1000 Grandmothers credits another grandmother activist, Pennie Opal Plant, for helping train their members in nonviolent direct action and for inspiring them to take the lead of Indigenous women in the fight. 

Plant, 66 — an enrolled member of the Yaqui of Southern California tribe, and of undocumented Choctaw and Cherokee ancestry — has started various organizations over the years, including Idle No More SF Bay, which she co-founded with a group of Indigenous grandmothers in 2013, first in solidarity with a group formed by First Nations women in Canada to defend treaty rights and to protect the environment from exploitation. 

Pictured: Pennie Opal Plant has started various organizations over the years, including Idle No More SF Bay, which she founded in 2013 alongside Indigenous grandmothers.

In 2016, Plant gathered with others in front of Wells Fargo Corporate offices in San Francisco, blocking the road in protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline, when she realized the advantages she had as an older woman in the fight. 

As a police liaison — or a person who aims to defuse tension with law enforcement — she went to speak to an officer who was trying to interrupt the action. When she saw him maneuvering his car over a sidewalk, she stood in front of it, her gray hair flowing. “I opened my arms really wide and was like, are you going to run over a grandmother?”

A new idea was born: The Society of Fearless Grandmothers. Once an in-person training — it now mostly exists online as a Facebook page — it helped teach other grandmothers how to protect the youth at protests. 

For Plant, the role of grandmothers in the fight to protect the planet is about a simple Indigenous principle: ensuring the future for the next seven generations. 

“What we’re seeing is a shift starting with Indigenous women, that is lifting up the good things that mothers have to share, the good things that women that love children can share, that will help bring back balance in the world,” Plant said...

[Kathleen] Sullivan is one of approximately 70,000 people over the age of 60 who’ve joined Third Act, a group specifically formed to engage people 60 and older to mobilize for climate action across the country. 

“This is an act of moral responsibility. It’s an act of care. And It’s an act of reciprocity to the way in which we are cared for by the planet,” Sullivan said. “It’s an act of interconnection to your peers, because there can be great joy and great sense of solidarity with other people around this.”

New Fic: After the Uncommon Rains

Okay, I guess it's not precisely new, but now that the @atlararepairbigbang is over I finally get to talk about it on this blog! In which the cast of Legend of Korra is thrown into a Jane Austen-inspired Western complete with pride, drama, heartfelt confessions of love, and fabulous hats.

I'm also cross-posting today's update with @yeehawgust's August 27th prompt, A Whole Heap of Trouble, because what could be more trouble than the two new handsome young prospectors from over yonder hitting on a brokenhearted cowboy's long lost love? Only said long lost love watching her hot cowboy ex-fiancé chop wood all sweaty and shirtless in the noonday heat and realizing... things.

Title: After the Uncommon Rains Relationships: Iroh II/Asami Sato, Mako/Opal, Bolin/Korra, and pretty much everyone trying to marry the dazzlingly wealthy railroad magnate Miss Sato. Summary: Jane Austen’s Persuasion, but make it an Irosami Western. Rating: T

The Canon Muse List of Of Darkest Desires and Darkest Desires Erotica

So many people have been asking about this...for years now. I specifically don't list the canon characters that I write for because that list is lengthy, and changes with the wind and my personal muse. However, since it is a new year, I suppose it's time we did a full canon character list for this blog. And, as an added note, I will also add at the end of each section notable OC muses that belong to these specific worlds.

Quick key before we get to the list, though: if a character is one of my favorites, they will be bolded and colored. If a character can be written genderswapped, they will be italicized. If a character is written non-canonically, they will be struck-through.

Jess watches Final Results - Day 296 & 297 [x]

My Lady Jane wins with 15 of 17 votes!

The detailing on their clothing is exquisite. And as pretty as the dresses are, they don't look very comfortable to wear. However if the costume designer could please send me Guilford's jacket with the gold threading on the shoulder. 😍

I voted for TLOK because of Bolin enjoying the fame too much to realize or care that he is being manipulated. And the water/ice animation as the water tribe brothers fought was so fluid and textured. 10 yearr old animation still incredibly impressive.

[lboogie1906]

Judge Jane Bolin (April 11, 1908 - January 8, 2007) was the first Black woman graduate of Yale Law School and the first Black female judge in the US. She was born in Poughkeepsie, New York. From her earliest days in her father’s law office, she knew she wanted to be an attorney. She graduated from Wellesley College and earned her law degree from Yale Law School.

She clerked in her father’s law office until she passed the New York bar exam in 1932. She married fellow attorney Ralph E. Mizelle a year later, and together they opened up a practice in New York City. In 1937, she was named Assistant Corporation Counsel for the City of New York, serving on the Domestic Relations Court. Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia appointed her Judge of the Domestic Relations Court in 1939, where she served for 40 years. During her tenure with two other judges, she achieved two major changes: the assignment of probation officers to cases without regard for race or religion and a requirement that publicly funded private child-care agencies accept children without regard to ethnic background.

She reluctantly retired in 1979, after reaching mandatory retirement age, and went on to serve on the New York State University Board of Regents, where she reviewed disciplinary cases. She was a member of the NAACP, the National Urban League, and the Child Welfare League. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence

JUSTINE WISE POLIER // JUSTICE

“She was the first woman Justice in New York. An outspoken activist and a “fighting judge”, for 38 years, she used her position on the Family Court bench to fight for the rights of the poor and disempowered. She along with Justice Jane Bolin, also fought racial discrimination by religious groups by helping to found a special school for black boys in New York.”
