[email protected] CELEBRATES BLACK HISTORY MONTH

Join the National Women’s History Museum on select Sundays each month as we bring you free virtual programming from the comfort of your home!

February's NWHM Presents! [email protected] programming is part of the NWHM’s Black History Month celebration in honor of generations of African American women who struggled with adversity to achieve full citizenship in American society, and who have led, acted, inspired, and advocated for a better present and future for all generations of Americans.

Upcoming February programs feature inspiring women. On February 7 we'll welcome Dr. Brenna Wynn Greer, Knafel Assistant Professor of Social Sciences, Department of History at Wellesley College, for a conversation in tribute to Rosa Parks in celebration of her 108th birthday. The inspiring stories continue on February 21 with a curator-led virtual tour of NWHM's exhibit, Harriet Tubman , and on February 28 with a virtual tour of the Museum's Sojourner Truth exhibit .

[email protected] programming is free to attend, but pre-registration is required.

CHOOSE TO CHALLENGE

March is Women’s History Month and March 8 ^th is the 112th International Women’s Day. International Women’s Day highlights the achievements of women and the work that still needs to be done to create equity for women and girls around the world. A challenged world is an alert world and from challenge comes change, so let’s all #ChooseToChallenge .

To kick off the celebrations we’re hosting Nickie Smith and Kate Isler, founders of Be Bold Now , the official Seattle-area event for International Women’s Day. Join us for an inspiring conversation on their work in building Be Bold Now into a successful organization and platform for elevating the stories of women who make change wherever they are.
