Monday Lecture Series – October 2021

Lecturer: Shenette Garrette-Scott, PhD

“Banking on Freedom: Black Women in U.S. Finance Before the New Deal” 

Did you know that between 1888 and 1930, African Americans opened more than a hundred banks and thousands of other financial institutions? Dr. Shennette Garrett-Scott explores this rich period of black financial innovation and its transformative impact on U.S. capitalism through the story of the St. Luke Bank in Richmond, Virginia: the first and only bank run by black women. Join us to hear about the formidable Maggie Lena Walker, a Black woman who made her way from teller to boardroom, as she met the needs of middle and working class Blacks against the threats of white and male supremacy.

This lecture will be presented online, with each presentation offered to registered guests at 1pm ET.  Individual lectures are available at $30 each, with limited number of viewers.

2021 Salute to Nurses

An Open Letter from the Nursing Friends of The National Susan B. Anthony Museum and House

2021 National Nurses Week –  The Year of the Nurse

Click here to listen to the reading!

Dear Nurses,

We congratulate you, Nurses, for contributing to the health and well-being of  persons and communities during a tumultuous year of the Covid-19 pandemic.  We honor  you for caring for others in wellness and sickness.  Nurses are recognized for being the most trusted health care professionals in the United States for good reason.

We applaud you, Nurses, for providing incredible patient care for persons, ill with the Covid-19  virus, doing everything you can to make sure your patients have the best chance of survival.  We celebrate your victories and mourn your losses with you.

We admire the physical and mental risks that Nurses take, as you care for patients and face your own vulnerabilities, to a virus that  is still spreading in variants across the country.  We appreciate the expertise and sacrifice of all Nurses caring for critically ill persons.  We also also honor Nurses administering Covid-19 Vaccinations while promoting access and encouraging others to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their families, and their communities from this illness.

Each day, take professional and personal time to care for yourself. Pause to realize the comfort and good you have provided to so many people.

The Nursing Friends of the National Susan B. Anthony Museum & House  thank you and celebrate Nurses Week with you! 

National Nursing Week

National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, Florence Nightingale’s birthday. It features a host of events across the U.S. to honor nurses for the work they do, and educates the public about the role of nurses in health care.
The Anthony Museum is proud of our connection to the nursing profession. Susan B. Anthony advocated for the standardization of nursing education and licensure by championing the passage of the Nurse Practice Act in 1903. Read more here.
