#OnThisDay, 11 Feb 1989, the Rev Barbara Harris is consecrated, the first woman to become a Bishop in the worldwide Anglican Communion. Due to death threats, she was advised to wear a bulletproof vest at the ceremony: she declined.

"I certainly don't want to be one of the boys. I want to offer my peculiar gifts as a black woman... a sensitivity and an awareness that comes out of more than a passing acquaintance with oppression."

From slavery to sainthood ✨

Meet Augustus Tolton (lovingly known as “Good Father Gus) – the first publicly recognized Black Catholic priest in the U.S, and now on his way to being canonized as a #Catholic saint.

His journey broke barriers, and his legacy lives on this #BlackHistoryMonth.

#OnThisDay, 10 Feb 1917, plant pathologist Johanna Westerdijk becomes the first woman appointed as a professor in the Netherlands when she joins Utrecht University.

Two of her PhD students, Bea Schwarz and then Christine Buisman, identified the fungus causing a disease in elm trees. They were building on Dina Spierenburg's work which had identified it as a new disease.

Hence it being called Dutch Elm disease.
