Dr. Craig Wansink Presents
"Nevertheless, They Persisted: How Three Defiant Women Confronted Race in America"
During Black History Month, Dr. Craig Wansink, Professor of Religious Studies and the Joan P. and Macon F. Brock, Jr. Director of the Robert Nusbaum Center, will take a quick look at three 19th century examples—Sojourner Truth, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Emma Lazarus—and how their spiritualism, atheism, and Judaism brought them to defy racism in the United States. How did they inspire and lead, within their limited sphere of influence, and how might their example shape us?
