Head over to the Library Company blog to read 2019 Mellon Scholar MaDeja Leverett’s experience as a research intern last month:
“Through the Eyes of Black Women: Intersectionality, Sexual Violence, and Reproductive Rights”
Supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Mellon Scholars Research Fellowship Program aims to promote research in the collections of the Library Company and to enhance the production of scholarly work in African American history of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. These competitive programs are designed to increase the participation of scholars from underrepresented backgrounds and others in the field of African American history prior to 1900.
