Discarded Legacy: Politics and Poetics in the Life of Frances Ellen Watkins Harper

A Panel Discussion with: Lena Ampadu, Melba Joyce Boyd and Sonia Sanchez

The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Wednesday, February 23, 2011


Sonia Sanchez, Professor DeLancey, Lois Casey, and Drexel students of African-American Literature at Moonstone Center for the Arts' Frances E.W. Harper Memorial Festival, an extended celebration of the life and work of African-American Historical Poet, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, during the week of the one hundredth anniversary of her death. Frances E. W. Harper was a 19th Century abolitionist poet whose work courageously defended the rights of African-Americans and women, but remains relevant across all social spheres, class systems, and birth circumstances. Sonia Sanchez graciously greeted the throng of young minds, calling them her brothers and sisters, with soft, knowledgeable encouragement after performing her memorial poem, "Thunder of an Angel".

A Thank You From Professor Luo


Dear Professors Mostov and Delancey,


Sorry for my much deferred message. I was back on Nov 24 evening and two days later traveled to Beijing and Zhejiang Province until yesterday.

It was my great pleasure to meet you and be present at your class. Thank you very much for your hospitability and for everything you had done for this project. My visit to Drexel was reported as part of my visit to the States. Click Here to Read More

I sincerely hope my trip to Drexel will promote the more fruitful cooperation between your university and mine (Central China Normal University) in the future, and especially in the fields of arts and humanities as well as in Chinese training. 

It was great to meet Sonia Sanchez and get her new books. I and my school here will be always ready to collaborate with you in the study of Sonia Sanchez and other projects.

You are warmly welcome to China and our university in the near future.


Best wishes,
Lianggong
