“Fighters for Freedom” Across the Smithsonian: Nannie Helen Burroughs’s Cash Register

Modupe Labode, curator of African American social justice history at the National Museum of American History, answers the question, “What can this cash register tell us about Nannie Helen Burroughs?” Burroughs was an educator and activist who established the National Training School for Women and Girls in 1909. Labode discusses the ornate register and how Burroughs pushed women to exceed society’s expectations and to be proud wage earners. Artist William H. Johnson portrayed Nannie Helen Burroughs and her school in the painting “Women Builders,” part of his “Fighters for Freedom” series in the mid-1940s. The series celebrates African American activists, scientists, teachers, performers as well as international leaders working to bring peace to the world. This video accompanies SAAM’s exhibition “Fighters for Freedom: William H. Johnson Picturing Justice.” https://americanart.si.edu/exhibitions/fighters-for-freedom William H.
