The Anarcha Center
I Be Black Girl’s The Anarcha Center is a multifunctional building that serves as a community hub in the heart of North Omaha. The Anarcha Center serves as a central gathering place for shared learning, cultural events, and political home.
Who is Anarcha?
We named our physical home in honor of Anarcha Wescott, a 17-year-old enslaved girl who was subjected to brutal experimental gynecological surgeries, experimentation and torture without any anesthetics shortly after giving birth for the first time.
Anarcha, along with Betsey Harris and Lucy Zimmerman, were the first documented, named enslaved girls who faced these atrocities, marking the terrifying inception of the gynecological field that continues to impact Black maternal health today.
I Be Black Girl’s, The Anarcha Center, is a community hub in Historic North Omaha.
