She was called Ma Rainey after her marriage to Will “Pa” Rainey in 1904. She created classical blue music, while living the black life to the fullest. Her music portrayed black female sexuality, and her lyrics defied the white middle class female respectability.

” All men are born free and equal, and have certain natural, essential and unalienable rights; among which may be reckoned the right of enjoying and defending their lives and liberties; that of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property; in fine, that of seeking and obtaining their safety and happiness”.

These words left Elizabeth wondering and she sought the counsel a lawyer to help sue for her freedom in court. Her case was heard in August 1871, and she won her freedom. This lead to the abolishment of slavery in the state of Massachusetts.

Elizabeth Freeman died in 1829, and she was well known for her skills as a Nurse, Midwife, and Healer.
