Black New England Conference

October 25 and 26, 2013
Huddleston Hall, (check back for schedule)

This year's 8th annual conference investigates the significant roles Black women have played and continue to play in shaping the history, culture, and image of New England as a region.  Using the theme of "Self-Invented Black Women: Navigating Race, Space and Place" the conference will explore ways in which Black women have transformed the American landscape through education, the arts, literature, politics, and notable historical movements and events.  This year's keynote speaker will feature Sheryl Lee Ralph, an award winning actress and activist to our New England communities.  Although most noted for her role of Dena Jones on the landmark Broadway musical Dreamgirls, Ms Ralph is also a health advocate and the director of DIVA (Divinely Inspired Victoriously Anointed) Foundation, focused on HIV/AIDS awareness.  More info on Sheryl Lee Ralph
