Due to accidents and other circumstances\, women sometimes presented the only\, or best\, candidates to ascend to the throne. \nGiven people’s misgivings about female political power\, queens like Elizabeth I of England\, Isabella of Spain\, Christina of Sweden\, and Catherine the Great of Russia had to fight hard just to stay on their thrones\, and even harder to wield power and have their peers and subjects take them seriously. The period from 1400s-1700s actually witnessed more ruling queens and female regents than in the 1800s\, or even most of the 1900s. \nJohanna Luthman\, Ph.D.\, explains the role of women leaders in Europe between the 1400s and 1700s in this fascinating look at the female rulers of early modern Europe and the many challenges they met.

According to the World Bank\, 54 percent of the population of Liberia is living below the poverty line. These two headlines are surprising when one considers that this country was founded as a result of benevolence from all over the United States. The capital city of Liberia was even named Monrovia for James Monroe\, the fifth president of the United States. \nBut\, the woes of modern Liberia cannot be traced just to the recent political faults of the country starting in 1980 when Samuel Doe\, a descendant of the indigenous people of Liberia\, led a coup against the regime of the free Blacks from the United States who founded Liberia. \nHow did a slave rebellion in Virginia give birth to racial nationalism in America\, leading to the foundation of Liberia by the American Colonization Society? How did this nineteenth-century history shape the country’s current troubled legacy? \nDr. Gnimbin A. Ouattara\, Assistant Professor of History and International Studies at Brenau University\, will share his latest research about the American Colonization Movement to Liberia. \nThis program is sponsored by the FCPL Friends & Advocates.

In 1773\, Wheatley published her first book of poetry–the first of its kind by any person of African descent in English. For this reason\, Wheatley marks the inaugural moment of an African-American literary tradition. \nExplore Wheatley’s most iconic poem\, “On Being Brought from Africa to America\,” while also discussing her difficult path to publication\, including the infamous “Prefaces” that had to accompany her volume in order to convince white readers that this creative and intelligent African-American woman really existed. \nCopies of the Prefaces and the poem “On Being Brought from Africa to America” are available at your branch’s Ask Us desk or The Project Gutenberg. \nCelebrating African-American History is sponsored by FCPL Friends & Advocates.
