Guilford College invites the public to attend a viewing of Sally Nuamah’s award-winning documentary film “HerStory,” followed by a conversation between Sally and Laura Colson, Vice President of Academic Affairs at Bennett College, Thursday, March 16, at the International Civil Rights Center & Museum in Greensboro.

The film and ensuing discussion will cap off the first day of the College’s Guilford Dialogues conference, which this year focuses on building strategies for educational opportunity and inclusion locally and globally.

Sally is a Northwestern University scholar whose research examines the dynamics between race, gender and public institutions. “HerStory,” which premiered in 2013, follows three high-achieving school girls in Ghana and explores the larger issue of making education accessible for Black girls globally.

She is the author of the award-winning “How Girls Achieve,” which reveals how the biased educational experiences of Black girls in America and Africa limit their ability to achieve democratic equity. Her latest research examines the punishment of Black women and girls and its political consequences.

Sally was named one of Forbes Magazine “30 Under 30” in education, awarded the Andrew Carnegie Fellowship, aka “the Brainy Award,” and named a recipient of the Marilyn Gittell Award for Scholarship and Activism.

Laura joined Bennett in July 2021 from Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, where she worked since 2005 and served as Associate Vice President for Academic Affairs. She earned her doctorate of Education in Curriculum and Instruction from Gardner-Webb University.

The event includes a reception, viewing of the film and the conversation beginning at 5 pm. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased online. More information about the conference is available at www.guilford.edu/guilforddialogues.

The museum is located 134 S. Elm St., in downtown Greensboro.
