    Would you please verify that her good friend was indeed Sarah Theresa and not Judge Dunn’s daughter, Dolly?

    What a powerful legacy she leaves behind. She accomplished more than most people will ever think of, let alone accomplish. What's puzzling is why she's referred to as a Weird Woman.

    What a powerful, strong-willed woman. In an interview Pam Grier stated that she wanted to tell her story, but producers refused to do a movie about her because no one knew who she was. This is how our history is continually suppressed! Thanks WWW, but she is far from weird.....

    White people love telling our black history! This video is boring and lifeless! NOTHING like who Mary real is! She deserves a better storyteller!

    Wow so many as far as African American women you don't learn in the history books.

    This is brilliant truth that was notoriously absent from any of my history lessons learned. I'm beyond impressed by her amazing story.
