Dr. Tamara Bailey and Dr. Sheena Harris will present on the lives of Memphis Tennessee Garrison, Olivia Davidson Washington, Fanny Smith Washington and other Black women from West Virginia. Each historian will talk about their experiences using women’s archives in their research. The session will also include information about the WV Feminist Activist Collection at the WV & Regional History Center at WVU Libraries, an effort to document women’s lives through archives and oral histories. This event may be presented virtually if conditions do not permit an in-person program.
