Mary Ann Shadd Cary and the Power of Black Art

Speakers include QBFSC member Kristin Moriah

Part of the 2020-21 Mary Ann Shadd Cary Event Series

As we approach the 200th anniversary of Mary Ann Shadd Cary’s birth in 2023, the Colored Conventions Project is partnering with leading scholars, archivists, artists, and writers to host a series of digital events that explore her life and legacy. This pioneering educator was the first Black woman to edit a newspaper in North America and the first to attend law school. Please join us as we explore the legacy of this pioneering Delawarian who broke barriers for Black Canadians and in DC after the Civil War.
