afternoons at the bilbrew - Monthly Author Talk: Dr. Donna J
Join us for an enlightening and inspiring event on Saturday, August 10th, at the AC Bilbrew Library.
We are thrilled to focus on programming for the Black Resource Center, and we have a special guest, ASALH member Dr. Donna J. Nicol, who will be presenting her recently published book, "Black Woman on Board."
- Date: Saturday, August 10, 2024
- Time: 11 AM
- Location: AC Bilbrew Library
About the Book
"Black Woman on Board" explores the vital role Black women educational leaders have played in ensuring access and equity for all. The book focuses on Dr. Claudia H. Hampton's two-decade struggle to advance affirmative action in the California State University system. A key theme in the narrative is Hampton's strategic use of "sly civility" to amass soft power and transform the system from within. By disarming racial biases of the trustee board and presenting herself as a reasonable political moderate, Hampton made significant strides while also making dinner for her white male colleagues.
Commemorating a Legacy
2024 marks the 30th anniversary of Claudia Hampton's passing on August 13th. Dr. Nicol's talk will be a perfect way to commemorate Hampton's legacy and her contributions to educational equity.
Engage with Dr. Donna Nichol
Dr. Nicol will deliver a talk about her book and the profound impact of Dr. Hampton's work. If you prefer a more informal format, Dr. Nicol would be honored to have a conversation with you during the book talk, allowing for a deeper and more personal engagement.
Don't miss this opportunity to delve into the history of Black women in educational leadership and to honor a trailblazer's legacy. We look forward to seeing you there!
For this event, we are collaborating with Bel Canto or Gatsby Books, ensuring a seamless and enriching experience for all attendees.
