# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Pulitzer Prize-winning Historian Marcia Chatelain, “How Bright the Path Grows"
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 15 Oct, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marcia Chatelain shares the little-known story of the pioneering Black women artists and activists at the 1963 March on Washington. There is no shortage of footage immortalizing the men who spoke in front of the 250,000 people gathered beneath the Lincoln Memorial to call for an end to segregation. Chatelain weaves a gleaming group portrait of the women. Among this cohort were several household names: vaudeville icon Josephine Baker; civil rights activist Rosa Parks, gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and Daisy Bates, champion of the Little Rock Nine. But many were relative unknowns. “How Bright the Path Grows” renders the lives of thirteen Black women visionaries—some famous, others soon to be. 

In conversation with Sowande’ Mustakeem, Washington University Department of History and Department of African & African American Studies.

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Seating is limited; early arrival is highly recommended. This event is free and open to the public.
