Help from the People Up North: Civil Rights Activism from Vermont to Mississippi
This talk will discuss a new and illuminating history of southern Black and northern white women’s overlooked participation in the modern Civil Rights Movement using one of the nation’s largest federal agencies: the U.S. Postal System. It will center on the history of the Box Project and its founder Virginia Naeve, a Vermont pacifist and artist who was committed to bridging black and white, north and south, through material support and “person to person” relationships one letter, one package at a time.
