SUMMARY:POSTPONED: Black Women's Suffrage in Washington\, DC (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Photograph of a young Nannie Helen Burroughs\, a DC suffragist\, teacher\, and activist; Courtesy of the Library of Congress. \nIn 2020\, DCPL partnered with the DC State Historic Preservation Office through funding from the National Park Service to produce a context study on Women’s Suffrage in Washington\, DC. To continue the documentation effort\, DCPL received a grant in 2022 from the National Park Service to underwrite development of a Historic Context Statement on the Black Women’s Suffrage Movement in Washington\, DC. This March\, join researchers Dr. Portia Hopkins and Dr. Synatra Smith to learn more about their work on the Black Women’s Suffrage Movement in Washington\, DC (1848-1973) Historic Context Study. Your feedback and questions are welcome at this presentation! \nDr. Portia Hopkins is a highly accomplished scholar with a doctorate in American Studies from the University of Maryland\, College Park. Currently serving as the University Historian at Rice University in Houston\, Texas\, Portia actively engages in outreach efforts to empower African American activist groups in Houston with data curation knowledge. She is the Co-Founder of the Black Houston(s) Symposium\, a free conference that brings community members and scholars together to explore themes related to the history\, culture and experiences of Houston’s Black communities. She is dedicated to developing best practices documents for curating data while actively participating in the thriving communities of data curation\, digital humanities\, and African American studies at Rice and throughout Houston. \nDr. Synatra Smith was born in Washington\, DC and raised in Maryland (but now lives in the Philadelphia region). She is a Black eXpeRience researcher who uses her background in cultural anthropology to explore extended reality (XR) and other digital tools to enhance special collections featuring Black art\, history\, and culture with the specific intention of documenting workflows that can be shared with students\, cultural heritage workers\, and scholars interested in building digital projects without relying on a large budget or team. In her CLIR/DLF postdoctoral fellowship in data curation for African American Studies at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (PMA) and the Temple University Libraries Loretta C. Duckworth Scholars Studio (Scholars Studio)\, she has been researching Black artists in the collections of the PMA\, the Temple University Libraries Charles L.
