HARLEM COMMUNITY NEWSPAPERS
HARLEM CALENDAR OF COMMUNITY EVENTS March 4 6:30-8:00pm Black Women in History and Struggle Scholarship on Black women’s histories is transforming our understanding of U.S. political, social, and economic development. New researchers are writing Black women back into narratives where they have been erased. When Black women such as Rosa Parks have been lifted up, our understanding of their real ideas and contributions has too often been shallow. Join this conversation to uncover the long history of Black women in U.S. history, and a deeper understanding of one of the most celebrated Black American women, Rosa Parks.
