If I Had Known is a virtual symposium dedicated to the multifaceted legacy of teacher, writer, poet, and activist, Alice Dunbar-Nelson (1875-1935). The University of Delaware Library currently houses Dunbar-Nelson’s personal papers, which stands as one of the most actively used collections among its holdings. A longtime Wilmington resident, active in the Mid-Atlantic, Dunbar-Nelson spent much of her adult life educating the youth and fighting for social justice and women’s rights.
