The National Women’s History Museum's opening and annual gala was celebrated by Sharon Stone, Ashley Graham, Meryl Streep and more.
Named “We Who Believe in Freedom: Black Feminist D.C.,” the exhibit showcases more than 20 Black women activists who contributed to national policy, curated by historians Sherie M. Randolph and Kendra T. Field. Highlighted feminists in the exhibit include Anna Julia Cooper, Mary Church Terrell, Eleanor Holmes Norton and Loretta Ross. These women, according to Randolph and Field, were largely unknown to the public despite significant contributions.
“The museum is for everyone,” Kaufman said. “We all benefit from great role models. Boys and men, too, can be inspired by witnessing the achievements of women who helped shape the Great American Story. Every young girl who uses our archives or visits the exhibits of the museum will be energized and encouraged by what so many have accomplished before them.”
