Dr. Yvonne Anderson

“We tipped a cup of tea for freedom to you today.  It was attended by famous suffragettes and abolitionists including Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, President Lincoln, Frederick Douglass, Soujourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and the baby of the bunch – Ida B. Wells.”

Dr. Anderson teaches her students about American history in a unique way, by dressing up the school and herself for a specific time and place each year.  Her authentic ensemble was a challenge to build and a joy to research as we learned from each other.

Silhouettes wants to thank this customer who has become a friend and an “honorary Buffalo Gal” as we have forged our own new paths in history.
