Racial Equity Resources

March is Women's History Month and this year's theme is Moving Forward Together! Women‍ Educating & Inspiring Generations. Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) is well-known for its founder, Booker T. Washington, but not for the women associated with its educational and other programs during its early years. Learn about the contributions of a Tuskegee teacher and founder of the first Black chapter of the Red Cross in Alabama, the librarian who was a suffragist, and the three wives who made their own educational contributions.
