The National African American Clergywomen Oral History Project, launched in Fall 2004 in partnership with Medgar Evers College, aims to document the experiences of the first ordained and elected African American clergywomen. This pioneering initiative seeks to collect ethnographic information about a historically underrepresented population within the church community.

Prominent figures such as Leontine T.C. Kelly and Barbara Harris are highlighted for their groundbreaking achievements, including Harris being the first female bishop in the Episcopal Church of the USA. The project emphasizes the significance of these women's journeys and their contributions to the African American and mainline church communities, ensuring their legacies are preserved for future generations.
