Two Houses, One Story of Resilience<\/strong>.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the heart of Jackson\u2019s Farish Street Historic District, Mary Green Scott, born enslaved and later a property owner, built two homes that sheltered her family and generations of community care.

Her daughter, Virginia Scott Ford, became a midwife whose \u201cbirth house\u201d delivered countless children into the world. Together they represent freedom, entrepreneurship, and the sacred labor of Black women\u2019s work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
