Episcopal women honored

In observance of National Women’s History Month, the staff of the Prezell R. Robinson Library created an exhibit, the Voices of Episcopal Women.  This exhibit documented the leadership roles of the Episcopal women and their relationship to the university. Some of the women that were featured included Emma Louise Perry Boyer, Dr. Selma Burke, June Elizabeth Kay Campbell, Dr. Anna Julia Cooper, Annie Elizabeth (Bessie) Delany, Julia Brown Delany, Julia Chester Emery, Sarah Hunter, Mabel Latham, Dr. Thelma Johnson Roundtree and more.

On April 13, the staff of the Prezell R. Robinson Library held a commemorative reception in honor of their legacy.
