Pan-Africanist Women in History and Politics

Pan-Africanist Women in History and Politics Presented by: April Beatty ‘25, Danielle Donovan ‘25, Kaz Gebhardt ‘25, Nyree Skye White ‘25 This panel emerges from the honors Learning Community on Black Transnationalism. Students conducted final research papers on Pan-African women, drawing on their own original primary- and secondary-source research. These presentations shed light on a history and political-science scene too often dominated by men. The women covered in this panel include: Louise Thompson Patterson, an African American communist social worker; Angela Davis, an African American activist and author; and Claudia Jones, the Trinidadian woman responsible for founding London’s famous Notting Hill Carnival. --- WEBSITE: https://www.simmons.edu/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/SimmonsUnive ...
