Dream Deferred & HBCU 2024 Featured Session: She Came to Slay!
She Came to Slay! A Conversation with Dr. Erica Armstrong Dunbar
Dr. Erica Armstrong Dunbar, a distinguished historian and scholar, has made significant contributions to our understanding of African American history and the complexities of race, gender, and power in America. Her work illuminates the legacy and resiliency of free and enslaved women. Dunbar's scholarship has challenged traditional narratives of American history, centering on the voices and experiences of Black women. Dunbar's expertise and insights now inspire a broader audience through her involvement in HBO's The Gilded Age, a historical drama series set in late 19th-century New York City. As a co-executive producer, Dunbar ensures the accuracy and authenticity of historical events and characters, especially those involving African Americans. Her work highlights the importance of diverse voices within the American story. Join us to learn more about the tenacious, innovative, and knowledgeable women like Ona Judge, Harriet Tubman, Sarah Thompson Garnet, and the fictional Peggy Scott.
