Reset with Sasha-Ann Simons - Chicagoan Fanny Barrier Williams And The Rise Of Black Women’s Clubs

Throughout Women’s History Month, Reset has been taking deep dives into the lives of unsung remarkable Chicago women. In this week’s segment, we look at Fanny Barrier Williams, a lesser-known contemporary of Ida B. Wells who played a role in Black women’s clubs. To learn her story, Reset sat down with Jennifer Brier, a local historian and history professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
