Join us at the Southeast Branch for a special virtual Women’s History Month program featuring Historian Rachel Craddolph, from Howard University, as she explores the legacy and remarkable contributions of three pioneering Black women—Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, and Nannie Burroughs—who shaped the fight for civil rights and suffrage in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries.

Though often overshadowed in mainstream history, these women were influential educators, journalists, and activists whose work laid the foundation for future movements. Through their leadership, they challenged racial and gender inequality, established schools and organizations, and fought tirelessly for justice. Their efforts overlapped in both time and purpose, creating a lasting impact on the struggle for equality.
