Episode description

Charlotte was born wealthy and free, but even in Philadelphia, PA that wasn't enough for her to be able to attend public schools. Home schooled, she taught herself four languages and read over 100 books by the time she was 16. She went on to conquer many firsts, including being the first African American to teach white students.
