In honor of Black History Month, we are privileged to share with the story of Fanny Montpensier (1794-1880), a free woman of color and a member of Baltimore’s Haitian refugee community. Fanny’s name might not be familiar today, but while she was alive she was well-known in her community for her devotion, her good works, and a passion to share her faith with others.
