ASSOCIATION OF BLACK WOMEN HISTORIANS (abwh)
2025-2026 National Director's Outgoing Message
It has been a pleasure to serve, since January 2025, as the ABWH National Director. For my final report to the ABWH membership, I offer a brief outline of how I have spent my time. The final report outlines work on infrastructure, programing, projects, sustainability and succession planning, ABWH archives, and a call for book chapters to commemorate our upcoming 50th Anniversary (in 2029).
DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE
SPILLING TEA IN THE LIVING LIBRARY
ATLANTA HISTORY CENTER | 2025
It began in 2022 with 20 women and by 2026, Dr. La'Neice Littleton expanded the annual Atlanta History Center (AHC) Spilling the Tea in the Living Library to 90 women. The guest list to this annual gathering celebrates Black women preservationists from public and private institutions including libraries, universities, museums, churches, foundations, and parks.
As the first Keynote Speaker, it has been my pleasure to support this event every year.

MIXED METHODS MEMOIR
MY BLACK TEA GARDEN
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.
