How do we celebrate the 200th anniversary of the birth of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper (1825-2025), the most prolific African American writer of the nineteenth century? As part of its year-long programming, the Center for Black Digital Research/#DigBlk, joined by Penn State’s Africana Research Center, will convene an in-person symposium on the week of her 200th birthday, September 19-21, 2025.
