Facilitator: Niria White, UNI undergraduate history major
Niria White is currently working on a research project and Grout museum exhibit that narrates the impact of African American workers in Waterloo. Her talk traces African American settlement in Waterloo during the Great Migration and beyond, focusing on their many contributions to the city of Waterloo, using historical records, artifacts, and personal interviews. By exploring the history of African Americans in Waterloo, White counters the idea that African Americans have only been politically active in the Civil Rights era.
