Celebrating Naomi Anderson Project Fund
The Celebrating Naomi Anderson Project Fund was started in 2020 to preserve the history of 19th century African American activist and suffragist, Naomi Bowman Talbert Anderson, born in Michigan City, IN. She lived a life of activism and brilliance, fighting for the rights of women and color along fellow 19th century suffragist Susan B. Anthony.
About Naomi
Naomi Bowman Talbert Anderson was born in Michigan City, Indiana on March 1, 1843 into a free African American family, just seven years after the city was incorporated. At that time, census records did not include addresses and we have been unable to determine where she lived. She was educated in Michigan City after the public school noted her writing ability and invited her to enroll in the otherwise segregated school. She later credited Michigan City for providing her with an education.
