Black Women Rock:
Leading the Charge for Social and Political Change

New Hampshire Humanities is proud to sponsor the 2020 Black New England Conference which takes place online on September 25 & 26. The goal of this year’s Black New England Conference is to celebrate, examine, and make visible Black women’s leadership and activism in fights for political and social change. Panelists will discuss Black women’s leadership and activism in a variety of social and political arenas—the classroom, the courtroom, business and economics, technology, the environment, the arts, religion, government, and others. You can register for tickets HERE. We'll see you there!  
Join us for a virtual celebration of the humanities, delivered from The Rex Theatre in Manchester on Thursday, October 22 at 6 pm.
