Join us on Wednesday, November 17th from 6:30 to 7:30 PM to discuss:

  1. The chapter titled "Queering Jane Crow: Pauli Murray's Quest for an Unhyphenated Identity" from Beyond Respectability: The Intellectual Thought of Race Women by Dr. Brittney Cooper. You can access the chapter, with permission from the author, for free here.

The conversation will be facilitated by Dr. Kimberly Springer, Black feminist memory worker, author, researcher and digital culturalist. The essay by Simmons Thorne is available here.
