We are pleased to announce that Linda Janet Holmes will be visiting our campus for Black History Month! Check out the flier for events throughout the week. Her visit will culminate in a keynote on Wednesday, February 26th from 2-3:00 p.m. in room 6304 on the
San Luis Obispo Campus
Women's Health, Legendary African American Midwives, and Student Activism in Black Communities
Linda Janet Holmes, co-author of "Listen to Me Good", will focus on health disparities and multicultural health with special emphasis on African American midwives. Holmes's pioneering work and publications demonstrate how midwifery enhanced the experience of southern Black women despite the racism and segregation that shaped their society. Holmes will also share intimate knowledge of Virginia's first Woolworth's "sit-in" by Black college students facing the same Jim Crow society - and how this resonates today.
An accomplished oral historian, author, and women's health activist. Holmes is currently writing a book based on oral histories of midwives from
Kenya, Ethiopia and Ghana
