The event, titled “Four Centuries of Black Women in America: Freedom, Activism and Justice for All,” will be held virtually March 22-27. It is free and open to the public, but registration is required.
“One of the best parts of our annual spring symposium is how we bring people together from community members to students to professionals and alumni to learn and think about the experiences of African-American people. And this year, I’m thrilled we’re focusing on Black women,” said Assistant Professor of History Jody Allen, the Robert Francis Eng Director of the Lemon Project.
