Scope and Contents
On May 4, 1986, four educators and writers discussed black women writers of the 1920s. They explored common themes, their views on color and class, and how they dealt with loving, aging, impermanence, and death. Panelists included Jonetta Barras from the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities; Joyce A. Joyce, Ph.D. from University of Maryland; Priscilla Ramsey, Ph.D. from Howard University; and Eleanor W. Traylor, Ph.D. from Montgomery College. The panel discussion was moderated by Rebecca Welch, Ph.D., who curated the Anacostia Museum's renaissance exhibit.
