Stand Against Injustice - Women Empowering Women | Legacy of the YWCA Blue Triangle Branch

Until 1964, the Nashville YWCA functioned as a segregated all-white Downtown YWCA, and an all-Black YWCA called the Blue Triangle Branch. Join us during Women’s History Month for our next Stand Against Injustice webinar featuring leaders who have carried on the legacy and stories of the YWCA Nashville Blue Triangle Branch. The YWCA owes its advocacy priorities of Racial Justice, Gender-Based Violence, Civil & Human Rights, and Health, Safety & Empowerment to the work of the Blue Triangle. Our panel will discussed the legacy of the intersection of race and gender, especially how it relates to the history of the YWCA and where we go from here in the fight for women's and children's rights.

Featured panelists include:

Andrea Blackman, Chief Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion Officer, Metro Government of Nashville & Davidson County
Dr. Carole Bucy, Davidson County Historian & Professor, Cumberland University
Joyce Searcy, Director of Community Relations | Belmont University
