Dr. Patricia Bell-Scott
Dear Research Network,
During this Women's History Month, it's important for us to amplify the voices of women, both historical and contemporary. Some of you have listened to her introduction to the genius of Pauli Murray. Today, we encourage you to listen to the genius of Professor Emerita, Patricia Bell-Scott. Please listen to her words, below, and her biography provided by the symposium.
