As the children of Geraldine (Morris) Strader we became accustomed at a young age to sharing Mother with the various communities that she championed. She invoked change through excellence. So, we were not surprised, but yet honored, when Emporia State University, the Dean of the Library and Information Management School, Gwen Alexander; Dean of the Libraries, John Sheridan; and Director of Alumni Relations, Tyler Curtis, extended an invitation to her 80th birthday Tribute to the community. This event was supported by Maurice Gray and Jason Brooks, the Director of Diversity and Inclusion, and planned by Angelica Hale.
We thank all of you for your planning efforts and public acknowledgment of the positive influence Geraldine Strader had on the Library Science program of Emporia State University and in bridging racial barriers for future generations.
We look forward to meeting all of the organizers and celebrating with friends of Geraldine Strader at her 80th birthday Emporia State University Tribute.
May we all celebrate the struggles and life of our ancestors.
