Second Annual Lucile Berkeley Buchanan Lecture Featuring Professor Quintard Taylor

From the Pages of BlackPast.org: Six African American Women You have Never Heard of Who Changed the West (and the World)

In this lecture, Professor Taylor examined six little-known black women whose experiences helped challenge and redefine the basic narrative of the black historical experience. He explored how BlackPast.org changes the narrative of African American history by making available to a global audience significant people, places, and events.
