Barnard honors activist, writer, and philosopher Grace Lee Boggs '35


Remembering the life and work of Grace Chin Lee Boggs '35, who died October 5 at the age of 100.


Zora Neale Hurston ’28 - Barnard Graduate - was a novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist who is often referred to as the “genius of the South.” Hurston was central to Harlem’s evolving literary scene, alongside Langston Hughes and Wallace Thurman. She enrolled at Barnard College in 1925 as a transfer student from Howard University and was Barnard’s first black graduate in 1928. Her studies in anthropology contributed to a lifelong exploration of language, culture, and the African American experience.
