Hub City Now: Interview with Kerri Lee Alexander

November 29, 2020 Uncategorized

In this episode of "Hub City Now" host Tyrone Tony Reed Jr. interviewed Kerri Lee Alexander about the legendary Bessie Coleman, the first African American woman and the first Native American to hold a pilot license.

As the month of November closes out, I wanted to highlight three of its monthly observances: National Native American Heritage Month, National Inspirational Role Models Month and Aviation History Month and Bessie Coleman fit into all three observances.

After coming across a wonderful article on Coleman by Alexander for the National Women's History Museum, I reached out to Alexander to be a guest on the show. Alexander also fits the National Inspirational Role Models Month observance.

Alexander is a Ph.D. student in U.S. History at Howard University. She also serves as a Teaching Assistant for the History Department and Howard’s inaugural Graduate Student Mentor for the Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellowship, in partnership with The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Kerri was also the 2018-2020 Education and Public History Fellow at the National Women’s History Museum where she curated content for the museum’s online platform and assisted in the creation of public programming focused on the contributions of American women. Kerri’s research has been circulated widely, including her digital exhibit on Sojourner Truth that was featured on the homepage of Google.com to kick off Black History Month last year. Kerri holds a Bachelor of Science in Arts Administration (Nonprofit Management) from Wagner College, and a Master of Arts in Theological Studies from Princeton Theological Seminary.
