Our History Department and Reps are delighted to share the very first edition of Aikin - the NHEHS History Magazine.
Launched to coincide with Black History Month, our editors wanted this Black History Month issue to highlight and remember the stories of Black people through the centuries up to the present day.
We chose to name our magazine after Lucy Aikin, a remarkable historian and writer, who embraced Enlightenment ideals and challenged the cultural oppression of women. She expressed that human traits are not exclusive to a single gender, highlighting the consequences of patriarchal systems and writing on history from a feminist perspective.
