AAHS Publishes Laura Scott’s Story…
March is Women’s History month. It’s fitting that the Afro-American History Society (AAHS) has published my essay on Laura Scott in its spring newsletter. I am so excited that Laura’s story will be read by a whole new group of people.

Fantastic article! Thank you for all your hard work it took to unearth the story of Laura Scott.
I came to this blog via a Langston Hughes poem about Margie Polite. I’ll be attending a film about Angela Davis at the AAHS tomorrow as a result. See what you did.
