Wintergreen Women Writers Collective Receives $750,000 Award from Mellon Foundation to support “The Women Gather: Building a Network to Embrace Black Women Writers”
By Aloma Antao“The Women Gather” revolves around Black women writers’ claiming time for creative work. Wintergreen aims to build a network of excellence to embrace Black women writers and ensure that the reach and impact of Wintergreen Women are preserved and made accessible for generations to come. All of these efforts are in direct alignment with key elements of Mellon’s Public Knowledge program—including the preservation of the cultural and scholarly record that documents society’s complex, intertwined humanity. We are deeply grateful for Mellon’s continued generosity and trust.
