Times Talk Wednesday, March 13, 12-12:50 p.m. Library 241 with Dr. Shaundra Walker on "Black Women's Quest for the Right to Vote as Seen Through the Life of Adella Hunt Logan" 

Join us this Wednesday, March 13, from 12:00-12:50 p.m. in Russell Library, room 241 for Times Talk facilitated by Dr. Shaundra Walker, executive director of Russell Library and associate professor of Library Science on "Black Women's Quest for the Right to Vote as Seen Through the Life of Adella Hunt Logan."  In honor of Women's History Month, this talk will explore the topic of voting rights for Black women by highlighting the life and work of Adella Hunt Logan, a librarian, educator and suffragist who was born in Hancock County, Georgia, in 1863. Until recently, Logan's story, especially her connections to Georgia, has been unrecognized when compared with her peers. As we celebrate Women's History Month, and their contributions to American life, we will dialogue about whose stories get told and why.
