Reviews
Tamara Beauboeuf-Lafontant, Grinnell College, author of To Live More Abundantly: Black Collegiate Women, Howard University, and the Audacity of Dean Lucy Diggs Slowe:
Drawing on a rich archive of letters, Amy Yeboah Quarkume brings needed attention to a pioneer in Black women’s higher education, Dean Lucy Diggs Slowe. Her Truth and Service provides insight into Slowe's person and importantly introduces a new generation of scholars to Slowe’s defiant insistence that Black women matter and deserve educational spaces where they can experience personal growth, alliance building, and joy.
