Though The University of Iowa was one of the first institutions to open admission to African Americans, African American women students at the University have often had to overcome other barriers to an equal education. This collection brings together newspaper articles, photographs, correspondence, oral histories, and other primary sources chronicling their university experiences.
This subcollection forms part of the African American Women in Iowa Digital Collection.
