Hansberry was a rising star when she died young of cancer. Her posthumous play, Young Gifted and Black, inspired her friend Nina Simone to write the song of the same name.

While going through random pages for Nails by Wikipedia ideas, I came across this page. I can't think of a worthy manicure idea, but I wanted to share this woman's story, especially as it's #WomensHistoryMonth
Very early #OnThisDay, 3 Mar 1944, Denise Bloch and Eileen Nearne arrived, separately, into occupied France as wireless operators for the British Special Operations Executive. The SOE supported the French resistance in sabotaging Nazi operations.
Both women were arrested by the summer. Denise was killed in Ravensbrück. Eileen escaped but never recovered her health.
