The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture: The Ella Baker Initiative

The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture is launching a new series of programming to examine the legacy of the 19th Amendment, which is celebrating its centennial in 2020. The Ella Baker Initiative is designed to engage the public and explore the fight for suffrage and civil rights from a variety of diverse historical perspectives. The initiative is funded by Pivotal Ventures, an investment and incubation company created by Melinda Gates.

Events will be posted on the Schomburg Center’s events page at www.nypl.org/schomburg.
