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. Click on the link below to meet the ABWH 2025-2026 leadership team!
