Salsa Soul Sisters

This exhibit collection contains exhibits by Krü Maekdo and Alexis Pauline Gumbs. In May-June 2018, the Blackburn Printmaking Workshop hosted the exhibition, Salsa Soul Sisters: Honoring Lesbians of Color at the Lesbian Herstory Archives, as a celebration showcasing the recent donation of Salsa Soul Sisters: Third World Women archival materials to the Lesbian Herstory Archives (LHA). Members, Cassandra Grant, Imani Rashid, Nancy Valentine, and Brahma Curry, were responsible for this generous donation made in November 2016. It includes photographs, monthly newsletters, event flyers, discussion schedules, meeting minutes, financial papers, correspondence, pamphlets, and other materials documenting years of activism. It greatly expands the pre-existing holdings of LHA, furthering its positioning as the most comprehensive archive of lesbian materials in the world.
