LECTURER: Rebecca Hall, JD, PHD
Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts
Dr. Rebecca Hall is a scholar, activist and educator, who writes and speaks on the history of race, gender, law and resistance, as well as on climate justice and intersectional feminist theory. Her recent highly-acclaimed graphic novel, Wake: The Hidden History of Women-Led Slave Revolts, weaves history and memoir that focuses on slave revolts in the Middle Passage and in New York City and her own quest to uncover this unwritten history.
Wake went viral when it started as a Kickstarter campaign, earning coverage in Hyperallergic and Bustle. Dr. Hall has spoken about her work and Wake to eager audiences at the National Antiracism Teach In, the Schomburg Center’s Black Comic Book Festival and at Black Gotham’s “Nerdy Thursdays” at the New York Historical Society. Wake was selected as Steph Curry’s June Literati Book Club Pick. An Indie Bestseller, Wake has also received glowing reviews from The New York Times, NPR, and The Guardian, calling the graphic novel “stunning,” “powerful,” and “a must-read.”

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.
