Live lecture at the Hall: Alison Parker on Mary Church Terrell

Leadership & Representation: Mary Church Terrell’s Black Feminism
Mary Church Terrell’s biographer, Alison Parker, discusses Terrell’s strategic use of respectability and fashion to assert Black women’s full humanity and equality. Terrell’s feminism and suffrage activism was based on her communicating the central reality that race and gender are intersecting and inseparable factors in Black women’s lives.
Mary Church Terrell was a tireless advocate for racial justice, women’s rights, and civil rights — a visionary leader whose work spanned nearly a century. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about her unrelenting fight for equality and what her story teaches us today.
