Black Freedom Movement Women Biographies

This month, we will be joined online by four scholars to discuss the rapidly expanding field of Black freedom movement women’s biography. Using the lives of notable Black women to shed new light on the 20th century, Noliwe Rooks and Ashley Robertson Preston will discuss their biographies of Mary Mcleod Bethune, Sonya Y. Ramsey will talk about her biography of Bertha Maxwell-Roddey, and Marcia Walker-McWilliams will discuss her book about the Reverend Addie Wyatt.
