We expanded our postcard from a few weeks ago and are bringing you a full episode on the extraordinary Belle da Costa Greene! This incredible, formidable, and relentless librarian has a remarkable story and legacy. We unpack her accomplishments as an educator, book collector, and advocate, along with her navigation of white society as a 'passing' bi-racial woman. Join us in honoring her and her place in American and Black histories!
