Matt Siegfried discusses a dozen notable women in Ypsilanti's history that include the children of H. P. Jacobs, Marguerite Eaglin, Wealtha Sherman, Bernice Kersey, and others. He spoke at Ypsilanti Community High School in March of 2016 to help students prepare their second community African American history mural, this one celebrating women's history. The mural will be painted in the summer of 2016. 

Please consider donating on the mural's GoFundMe page: https://www.gofundme.com/gmfapnyc. All donations are gratefully received!
