Dr. Alyssa Cole recently gave the 2024 Alyce Hunley Whayne lecture entitled “Movement Before the Movement: Black Women’s Health Activism in Kansas City” at Kansas University as part of the Alyce Hunley Whayne Visiting Researchers fellowship. The Whayne Scholars Program supports visiting scholars and researchers from across the country requiring the use of Spencer Research Library’s African American Experience materials in the Kansas Collection, University Archives or Special Collections, funding travel expenses for researchers to stay in Lawrence as they explore books, images, personal papers and government documents held at the library.
