Description
Frances (Fannie) Barrier Williams (February 12, 1855 - March 4, 1944) was an American educator and political and women's rights activist, and the first black woman to gain membership to the Chicago Woman's Club. She became well known for her efforts to have black people officially represented on the Board of Control of the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. She lectured frequently on the need for all women, but especially black women, to have the vote. In 1907, she was the only black American selected to eulogize Susan B. Anthony. She was also a musician, a portraitist and studied foreign languages. No photographer credited, 1922 (cropped and cleaned).
