COMMUNITY

For over two decades, I have worked to preserve the legacy of scholars like Anna Julia Cooper, Mary McLeod Bethune, Fannie Jackson Coppin, Septima Clark, W. E. B. Du Bois, James Haskins, Asa G. Hilliard III, Beverly Guy-Sheftall, and John H. Bracey Jr. In addition to "adding my voice to the chorus" (as Dr. Cooper wrote), I write to ensure Black intellectual history is documented in archives, publications, and public art.  

 It is my pleasure to serve as the new National Director of the Association of Black Women Historians (ABWH).  I attended my first ABWH session in 2000 and became a life member in 2003.

This website shares an example of my multi-dimensional memoir. I bring together 15 different types of sources from my journey, (including maps, photos, publications, and poetry) to share my life story. This method of information gathering enhances the life writing experience by expanding the range of information we use to tell our story. It is also much more fun to create.
