Uncrowned Queens:  African American Women 

Community Builders of Western New York, Volume I 

Written and Edited by
Peggy Brooks-Bertram, Dr. P.H., Ph.D.
Barbara Seals Nevergold, Ph.D.
 

 

In 1999, historians Dr. Peggy Brooks-Bertram  and Barbara Ann Seals Nevergold created the Uncrowned Queens project to celebrate the accomplishments of African American women community builders in Western New York. Their most recent collaborative effort is Uncrowned Queens: African American Women Community Builders of Western New York. This soft-covered book, recognizing and honoring African American women, is the first in a series to document the contributions of these women, some well-known, but many without previous recognition. The book features the biographies and photographs of one hundred extraordinary women from myriad educational, economic, religious, and social backgrounds.
