Elevating the Stories of Black Women: Dr. Virginia Alexander and Shirley Chisholm

The University of Kentucky Center for Health Equity Transformation is hosting the next event in its 2022-2023 Elevating Equity Speaker Series, co-sponsored by Anthem BlueCross and BlueShield Medicaid, the Gaines Center for the Humanities, and the Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies. Join us for a conversation with Dr. Vanessa Northington Gamble and Dr. Anastasia Curwood about the lives of Dr. Virginia Alexander and Shirley Chisholm, their experiences as biographers, and the importance of telling Black women’s stories. We are hosting this event in the evening at an off-campus location in the hope that we will be able to engage the broader Lexington community, so please feel free to share with individuals or organizations that are not affiliated with UK.
