In honor of RIHS’s “Take A Stand” 2021 theme, we’re happy to offer this talk from the Smithsonian Institution! Highlighting objects related to African American women’s history in the Smithsonian collections, this event focuses on African American women’s activism and contributions in historical perspective. Each speaker will explore an interesting aspect of African American women’s activism through an extended discussion of one or two objects.
