Throughout history, there are many African women who have contributed to the History of Europe.
Often their contributions have been overlooked and not celebrated.
This informative and inspirational presentation by Black History Studies explores the contributions that African Women have made to the social and political life of Europe.
We will also examine and highlight the appearance of African Women in European Art.
