January 31 at 6 PM ET | They Were Seeds: The Buried Legacy of Black Wheelwomen

Lead by Keshia Roberson (2022 Mini Grant Recipient)

"what didn’t you do to bury me / but you forgot that I was a seed" - Dinos Christianopoulos

From news of the “first” bike club for Black women in the late 1800s to touring rides that birthed movements found today, Black women have a long rich history in American cycling worth recognizing and celebrating. During this presentation, we'll help uncover the legacy of Black wheelwomen who created space in a sport not intended for them. We’ll discuss what factors have contributed to their buried history and how their roots have inspired future generations of diverse riders.
