text:
Theresa Maxis Duchemin, IHM was a Black Catholic missionary in Baltimore, Maryland. She was the first US-born African American to become a religious sister. She helped found both the Oblate Sisters of Providence—the first order of Black nuns in the US—and the Sisters, Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. The latter, founded in Monroe, Michigan, was the first predominantly White order founded by an African American. Duchemin served as one of the earliest Black mother superiors in the nation.
