PAD #18: Tell Their Story

I’ve been browsing the Digital Public Library of America’s Women in Science Collection and found this interesting photo titled, Chemistry class – women’s from the Atlanta University, Robert Woodruff Library. The description says that these are unidentified students in a chemistry class. I think it would be a great prompt for students to learn more about science education for both women and African American women in particular. The date range is 1862 – 1923. Who are these students? Where might be they be studying chemistry?
