Tea & Talk Series: Daring Through the Decades – First Ladies as Pioneers of Progress

From the nation’s founding to today, First Ladies have stepped forward in moments of conflict, change, and challenge to shape the course of American history. Inspired by The Eras Exhibit: 250 Years of First Ladies Progress and Power, this program explores how First Ladies used their voices and influence to champion causes, guide the nation through war and world affairs, and open new pathways for progress at home and abroad.

She is from Akron, Ohio, and holds an MA in History and Public History from Bowling Green State University with a focus on marginalized narratives, specializing in women’s labor and food history.
