Researcher, scholar to speak at Annual Meeting

Be sure to attend our annual meeting April 21 to hear special guest, Karen Cotton McDaniel, talk about lessons learned from women of vision.

McDaniel is a visiting scholar at EKU in both the African/African American Studies and Women's Studies programs.  She is a 1973 graduate of Berea College and received her Masters in Library Science from UK.  Her expertise includes the history of Kentucky African American women's clubs. 

Her topic "Transforming Vision to Action"  will explore what we can learn from women in major social movements and apply to today's social and political arena. 

As a special feature of our LWV Annual Meeting, LWV will be auctioning off poster prints by African-American artist Dr. Margaret Burroughs.  Dr. Burroughs donated the prints to LWV via her friend and Berea resident Evangeline Goss.Among her many accomplishments as an artist, educator, poet and community organizer, Burroughs was a co-founder of the DuSable Museum of African-American History in Chicago, where she currently lives. 

LWV is honored to have the opportunity to share this art with others in our community. Funds raised from the sale of the prints will support of our work for civic engagement and action here in Madison County.
