Angela Tate and Professor Duchess Harris in conversation at MNHC in St Paul, MN on 6/17/22
I don’t have time this week to write a blog post. Without getting too into it, it has been quite the past few weeks filled with good things, accomplishments, and disappointments. Knowing this, I am allowing myself to take a break from the vulnerable work of writing this week. I hope to be able to return to weekly writing next week (although, no promises).
That being said:
I attended a wonderfully thought-provoking and fulfilling event this morning as part of professional and personal development work at the Minnesota Humanities Center. It was entitled: Upholding Traditions - Black Women & Juneteenth with special guest Angela Tate.
Instead of taking the 5-10 minutes (feel free to take more) that you may have spent reading my blog post this week, please take some time to learn more about the leading ladies of this event.
Angela Tate - Curator of Women’s History at the National Museum of African American History & Culture (NMAAHC)
Duchess Harris, PhD JD - Professor of American Studies at Macalester College
Jevetta Steele - R&B and Gospel Singer and Community Activist
