Released in 1972, Gerda Lerner edited Black Women in White America: A Documentary History, which chronicles 350 years of Black women's contributions to history, despite centuries of being enslaved and treated as property. It was one of the first books to detail the contributions of Black women in history. Revisiting this pioneering book, Tiffany LaTrice will discuss new methodologies to uncover, document, and write about Black women’s historical contributions and outline how she has leveraged her Women's History degree to champion stories, create programs and national movements around women's rights, equity, and representation in the fine art industry.
