Remembering Remarkable African American Women of Westchester

Westchester has been home to a number of prominent African American women, many of whom have been relatively unrecognized. In this 60-minute digital slide presentation, Barbara Davis relates the Westchester years of early pioneers, such as Sojourner Truth, to more contemporary women, such as leaders in psychology, dramatic arts, music, law, and other fields. Croton-on-Hudson’s own Lorraine Hansberry provides the link in a fascinating thread of remarkable African American women with ties to Westchester.

Free events sponsored by Croton Friends of History. Visit their website for details on topics & speakers.

These programs were booked by a nonprofit group in the community, according to the Library's Room Use Policy.
