On this day in 1896, Nancy Cunard was born. A muse to the 20th century's most distinguished writers and artists, Cunard devoted much of her life to fighting racism. Fully digitized in our Digital Collections, read The Negro Anthologyan ambitious anthology covering aspects of diasporic Black life in arts, history, education, law, injustice, and culture. Cunard compiled and edited the anthology in 1934, hoping to prove "that there was no superior race, merely cultural differences, that racism has no basis whatsoever."
