Biddy Mason, Mary Fields, and Mary Ellen Pleasant are three Black women who are often cited when there is a discussion of such notables in the western parts of the nation.
. But there are several more who fall below the radar and are rarely mentioned, including Susie Sumner Revels Cayton and Elizabeth Thorn Scott Flood, who we will feature this week.
But her writing took command and soon she shared a mutual love for journalism with her husband, often contributing articles to her husband’s journal and the Seattle Republican, which he established in 1894. Later she became the paper’s associate editor. Appealing to a wide and diverse audience, the paper eventually became the second largest circulated newspaper in the city.
Her son, another example of the fruit not falling too far from the tree, Horace Cayton Jr., followed in her footsteps as a successful writer and social activist. He co-authored with St. Clair Drake “Black Metropolis—A Study of Negro Life in a Northern City,” a landmark publication. Her other son, Revels Cayton, was an outspoken trade unionist and executive secretary of the National Negro Congress.
Elizabeth Flood, née Thorn, was born in New York a year after the state ended slavery in 1827. Educated in Massachusetts, she married Joseph Scott in 1852 and they relocated to California later that year. After the death of her husband, she and her son moved to Sacramento where there was a large African American community. When her son was denied entry to public school she opened a school for minority children in 1854.
