In 1903, in the year that Rachel Billups was born, the book The Souls of Black Folk, written by W. E. B. Du Bois, was published.

Did you know?

In 1920, at the age of 17 years old, Rachel was alive when speakeasies replaced saloons as the center of social activity. After the 18th Amendment was ratified and selling alcohol became illegal, saloons closed and speakeasies took their place. Speakeasies, also called a blind pig or blind tiger, were "so called because of the practice of speaking quietly about such a place in public, or when inside it, so as not to alert the police or neighbors". There were a lot of them and they were very popular. And where saloons often prohibited women, they were encouraged at speakeasies because of the added profits.
