2. Events and Programs, n.d., 1995-2007 |
| Volume: |
.75 cubic ft. |
| Arrangement: |
Alphabetical |
| Summary: |
This series documents the events and programs sponsored by the Boston
Coalition of Black Women and a few events, in which they participated
but did not organize, such as the Freedom House's Ebony Fashion Fair
which they were invited to sponsor in 2001 and the St. Francis House
capital campaign. The Sister to Sister mentoring program has been
a particular focus of the Coalition since its foundation. This program
pairs members of the Coalition with young African American women in
the community for a year-long mentoring relationship. The Sister-to-Sister
files include photographs and negatives of some of the events the
program ran for the mentors and girls. The Coalition has also organized
two Between Sisters conferences in 1995 and 1998, bringing together
women from all over the United States for a three-day conference covering
issues including healthcare, women's history, cultural trends, and
parental responsibility. Records include correspondence, fliers and
programs, newsletters, conference packets, and memorabilia including
a tote bag and pin from the 1998 Between Sisters conference. Researchers
should note that, in addition to the photographs in the Sister-to-Sister
and Salute to Police Women files, there are unidentified photographs,
negatives, and a U-Matic tape included in Audio-Visual Material. |
