@basilfawlty89 Lucy Parsons has an asterisk for some in our community because she chose to "pass". For others, she was a product or her times.
While historians cite her Black background, she herself did not claim this as part of her identity publicly. She spoke about Black Americans in a sympathetic, ambiguous manner, not acknowledging herself as belonging to that community.[6] She instead acknowledged her Mexican and Native American heritage.
