Featuring Author Mary Kaplan

After our program on Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller in February, it was clear that many wanted to learn more about America’s first Black psychiatrist and his renowned sculptress wife, Meta Warrick Fuller. While researching her 2005 publication Solomon Carter Fuller: Where My Caravan Has Rested, author Mary Kaplan obtained privileged information from Solomon’s personal notes as well as family interviews. As the foremost authority on the Fullers, one of her life goals is to share more of Solomon’s story since Meta’s story is already quite well known. In addition to presenting at numerous medical conferences worldwide, she is currently petitioning the National African American History & Culture Museum in D.C. to get Solomon recognized in their exhibitions. Come and learn more about her effort to raise awareness around Solomon’s pioneering achievements while also learning more about Meta and Solomon’s life together.
