A premier female athlete before a “woman professional athlete” was thought possible, Elsa Von Blumen, was a prominent figure on the bicycle-racing scene in the 1880s. All but forgotten today, Von Blumen grew up in Rochester, NY, and was soon enticed to try high-wheel bicycle riding. Join us to hear Karen Lankeshofer talk about this unrecognized hometown pioneer.

“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.
