For The Record: The Spelman Prototype The Blue Record
-
- Society & Culture
Spelmanites of past and present have lamented or adhered to the idea of the "Ideal Spelman Woman." Is she thin, light-complexioned, snobbish, and always sharply-dressed as the media has attempted to portray? Our hosts don't think so. Gabrielle, Chloe, and Alexandra of the Archives team trace back where exactly this stereotype of the Spelman woman came from, correct common misconceptions about Spelmanites, and discuss the responses to the exciting $100,000,000 donation to Spelman.
