SUMMARY:Nannie Helen Burroughs: A Documentary Portrait of an Early Civil Rights Pioneer\, 1900-1959
DESCRIPTION:The Baton Foundation\, in partnership with the Auburn Avenue Research Library for African American Culture and History\, is thrilled to offer a lecture about the life and work of civil rights activist Helen Nannie Burroughs. This program is free to the public\, but registration is required. \nAbout the Book\nNannie Helen Burroughs (1879–1961) is one of many Black intellectuals whose work has been long excluded from the literary canon. In her time\, Burroughs was a celebrated Black female activist (or “race woman”)\, educator\, and intellectual. \nNannie Helen Burroughs: A Documentary Portrait of an Early Civil Rights Pioneer\, 1900-1959 (University of Notre Dame Press\, 2019)\, represents a landmark contribution to the Black intellectual historical project by allowing readers to experience Burroughs in her own words. This anthology of her works written between 1900 and 1959 encapsulates Burroughs’ work as a theologian\, philosopher\, activist\, educator\, intellectual\, and evangelist\, as well as the myriad ways her career resisted definition. \nDuring her life\, Burroughs rubbed elbows with Black historical icons such as W. E. B. DuBois\, Booker T. Washington\, Anna Julia Cooper\, Mary Church Terrell\, and Mary McLeod Bethune\, and these interactions represent much of the existing\, easily available literature on her life. \nThis book aims to spark a conversation about Burroughs’ life and work by making available her own tracts on God\, sin\, the intersections of church and society\, Black womanhood\, education\, and social justice. Moreover\, the volume is an important addition to the growing movement toward excavating Black intellectual and philosophical thought and reformulating the literary canon to bring a diverse array of voices to the table. PURCHASE BOOK HERE. \nAbout the Author\nKelisha B. Graves is a higher education educator\, author\, and speaker.
