About this person

Ellen Irene Diggs (1906-1998) was an American anthropologist, sociologist, and historian. She was the writer of a major contribution to African American history, Black Chronology: From 4,000 B.C. to the Abolition of the Slave Trade. Her academic work aimed to empower and visualize Afro-American chronology as a way to contest the idea that Africans and African Americans had no history and provided no contributions to modern culture. Dr. Irene Diggs was the first Black woman to write about race relations and the African diaspora in the Americas. She spent her whole academic career fighting against and researching racism, as well as the cultural and historical contributions of Africans and the African diaspora in the Americas. Alongside her academic mentor W. E. B. Du Bois, she co-founded Phylon: A Review of Race and Culture, and published her scholarly research across multiple journals.
