Black Women at Trinity Blog –
For the Black Women at Trinity Project, students will construct a blog post (500-800 words) about Black women at Trinity. The project will consist of several parts. First, you will research on your own or consult the Trinity archivist to identify a list of black women teachers, students, staff, activists, black organizations, or black women centered events on and off campus. These may include building, spaces where black women protest, the first African American women who were the first to enroll or complete a degree, or other sites where important “firsts” happened. You will write a blog about this African American woman, organization, or events, the challenges faces, and how she made Trinity history.
Citations for the Blog must be included along with a photo or two to occupancy the writing.
Requirements: Minimum of 500 words; Times New Roman; 12-inch font.
