We are excited to invite you to a captivating presentation by Dr. Shirley Green, who will explore the remarkable life and legacy of Ella P. Stewart, one of the first African American women to become a licensed pharmacist in the United States. Beyond her groundbreaking role in pharmacy, Stewart was a true trailblazer. As a resident of Toledo, she not only ran a successful business but also made significant contributions as a civic reformer, clubwoman, civil rights leader, women’s rights advocate and goodwill ambassador. Her life serves as an inspiring testament to resilience and leadership, both in her community and on the world stage. Green, an adjunct history instructor at Bowling Green State University and the University of Toledo, and the director of the Toledo Police Museum, will guide us through Stewart's impactful career and how her work continues to influence social justice and equality today. Visit the Ella P. Stewart Digital Gallery. This event is free and open to the public.
