Episode 187: Love, Activism, and the Respectable Life of Alice Dunbar-Nelson​

Hopeton Hay Podcasts

What an enlightening interview I had with Dillard University graduate, Tara T. Green, author of a stunning biography of Alice Dunbar-Nelson, a pioneering Black woman who actively addressed racial and gender inequalities as a writer, suffragette, educator, and activist in the late 19th and early 20th century. She was born in New Orleans in 1875 to a mother who was a former slave and a father of questionable identity. Dunbar-Nelson was a graduate of Straight University in New Orleans, the forerunner of Dillard University, a Historically Black College and University.
Dr. Green first became acquainted with the work of Dunbar-Nelson as an undergraduate at Dillard University. She is a Black feminist community-engaged scholar, mentor, and university professor. She is also the author of See Me Naked: Black Women Defining Pleasure During the Interwar Era. Credit for Tara T. Green’s picture goes to Toni Shaw.
