Elizabeth Keckley used needle and thread to make beautiful clothing, and a difference. As dressmaker to First Lady Mary Todd Lincoln, she designed dresses like this one (pictured here from behind). Before working for Lincoln, Keckley purchased her own freedom from slavery and that of her son. In 1860, she relocated with her family to Washington, D.C., where she quickly gained a reputation as a gifted dressmaker among the city's most prominent families.
Keckley used her profits and her position in society to help others, founding the Contraband Relief Association to assist newly freed people. You can learn more about her through the link in our bio: s.si.edu/Keckley
