Dr. Priscilla Dowden-White, associate professor of history at the University of Missouri—St. Louis and author of "Groping toward Democracy: African American Social Welfare Reform in St. Louis, 1920-1949", will explore the life and legacy of St. Louis attorney and NAACP titan Margaret Bush Wilson.
In her lifelong struggle to advance freedom and equality for African Americans, women, and all those who were excluded from the mainstream of society, Margaret Bush Wilson blazed a courageous legal trail marked by landmark decisions and major advances that opened up doors to equal opportunity for all Americans. Dowden-White will examine the relationship between the philosophical viewpoints and experiences at the root of Wilson’s definition of justice and fairness for all.
