A few weeks ago, our team talked about the movers and shakers from Las Vegas history who would be on our(hypothetical) Mt. Rushmore. The problem? We had no women on our list! Here to help us fix that glaring omission is Dr. Su Kim Chung, Head of Public Services in Special Collections and Archives at UNLV Libraries. She and host Vogue Robinson talk about four iconic women in Vegas history that we should all know (plus one bonus pick!), and how they made our city what it is today.
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)
