Early Life and Hardship
Esther Leanna Brodie emerged into the world on March 24, 1864, in the bustling city of St. Louis, Missouri. Her parents, former slaves who had escaped the horrors of the American South, instilled in her a deep sense of determination and compassion from a young age.

She played an instrumental role in establishing the St. Louis chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and served as its first secretary.
Esther's philanthropic spirit led her to support numerous organizations dedicated to improving the lives of the underprivileged. She donated generously to schools, orphanages, and hospitals, leaving a lasting legacy of care and compassion.
