Do You Know These Vegas History-Makers?
March is Women’s History Month — and Las Vegas has no shortage of trailblazing women who have helped make our city what it is today. In this conversation originally aired last fall, co-host Vogue Robinson sits down with Su Kim Chung, Head of Public Services in Special Collections and Archives at UNLV, to talk about her shortlist of Las Vegas women. Essentially: If Las Vegas were to have its own Mt. Rushmore of notable ladies, who’d be on it?
For more information about the women on Su Kim’s list, click on the links below:
- Helen Stewart
- Lubertha Johnson
- Claudine Williams
- Carol Harter
- Margaret Kelly (Miss Bluebell)
Don’t forget: Come see City Cast Las Vegas live at the opening of The Beverly Theater this Saturday! Event details here.
