Elsa Von Blumen: Woman Racer of 1880

An Unfinished Business: Edna Buckman Kearns and the Struggle for Women’s Rights

Marguerite Kearns

Edna Buckman Kearns is best known for her horse-drawn suffrage campaign wagon, called the “Spirit of 1776,” that was used in New York City and Long Island suffrage parades, pageants, and special organizing events.

“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.

Monday Lecture Series – June 2021

Why the ERA went MIA

Lecturer: Jennifer Lloyd, PhD

The Equal Rights Amendment, written by Alice Paul and supported by the National Women’s Party, was first proposed in Congress in 1923 but did not pass both houses until 1972. By 1982 thirty states had ratified it, one short of the required number. Why did it take nearly fifty years to pass Congress and why wasn’t ratified? What would it mean for women if ratification was successful?
