Interpreting African American Women's History through Historic Landscapes, Structures, and Commemorative Sites

By Barbara A. Tagger

"Yet I found few, if any, historic sites that specifically recognized the contributions of women to the modern civil rights movement. Even more disturbing was the fact that of the 375 units of the National Park Service, only two, that Mary McLeod Bethune Council House National Historic Sites in Washington, D.C. and the Maggie Lena Walker National Historic Site in Richmond, Virginia, commemorate African American women's contributions to U.S. history."
