A conference for female historians this weekend was plunged into turmoil when a prominent white academic speaking at the main event said her professional life would have been easier if she were Black.
She was identified by attendees of the Berkshire Conference of Women Historians, on social media and in an interview, as USC professor emerita of History Lois Banner, who co-founded the biennial event in the 1970s.
Paul Renfro of Florida State University said Banner’s comments were tonally off and rambling even before she “made this allusion to this desire that she’s always had, to have dark skin, which is, you know, very, very, very problematic. ” After Banner finally finished talking, Deidre Cooper Owens, a Black historian at the University of Nebraska, took the podium and denounced her remarks.
