Black Women: Achievements Against the Odds

Twenty posters mounted on twelve 7' high free-standing panels spanning 2' x 12'. Two shipping cases. 1983

The contributions and achievements of eighteen women are featured in sixteen fields: religion, the military, civil rights, art, sports, education, labor, journalism, entertainment, government and politics, law, music, literature, medicine, science and mathematics, and business. More than 100 other black women are also included. The stories of their lives reflect the inspiration that was necessary to overcome the challenges these women faced. Daisy Bates, a leader of the integration struggle at Little Rock Central High, is featured in the exhibit panel on civil rights. Originally produced by the Smithsonian Institution.
