Tempe History Society Lunch Talks

Tempe History Society Lunch Talks 

“Stella McHenry. The first African American female graduate, Tempe Normal School. 1925.”  by Shannon Walker 

Wednesday, February 14, at 11:30 a.m.   

Shannon Walker, ASU University Archivist, will be discussing a recent project to identify, recognize, and honor the first African American female graduate of ASU, Stella McHenry. This project has led to further efforts to identify and tell the story of early students of color at the University using ASU and Tempe History Museum archival collections. In addition, Shannon will discuss the importance of developing relationships with the families of alumni and the Black community in Phoenix in general, coinciding with the work her ASU colleague Jessica Salow, curator of Black Collections, is doing to document the Black community of Arizona. Stop by Tempe History Museum for this free talk presented by Tempe History Society with generous support from Friendship Village.

Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Can't attend? Catch the event live-streamed at www.facebook.com/TempeHistory.
