The Negro Woman Standard Set · $32
Inspired by the research of Dr. Kimberly Brown Pellum, Principal Historian and Creative Director, this two-pin set honors Maryrose Reeves Allen and her words, “the Negro Woman as our Standard.” The portrait pin features a Black woman in profile, chin lifted, wearing a pearl earring and a plum dress. Ivory magnolias frame Allen’s words. A separate magnolia pin echoes the blossoms, with deep green leaves and gold trim.
Dr. Brown Pellum earned her PhD in United States History from Howard University. A member of the history faculty at Florida A&M University, she specializes in the history of women’s images, Southern culture, and the Black Freedom Struggle. Her public history work includes contributions to the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, the Rosa Parks Museum, and Google Arts & Culture.
