And they are my life. I am a library and museum practitioner with twenty years experience in leading museums, libraries, and educational initiatives with forward-facing vision. As a public historian, I study late 19th and early 20th century African American history with an interdisciplinary specialization in educational history.
My research interests include Black women’s intellectual history, history of African American higher education, race relations during the Jim Crow era, and the civil rights struggle in the North.
My academic and professional pursuits are centered on the notion that Black history is American history and it enriches the lives of all.
