20 Mar 1986, Thu Detroit Free Press (Detroit, Michigan) Newspapers.comIn 2024, The Vintage Purse Museum had the privilege of acquiring handbags from the estate of Dr. Marjorie Peebles-Meyers (1915-2001), the first Black woman graduate of Wayne State University of Medicine in 1943.
The Michigan seller from whom we purchased these items told us they acquired a number of Dr. Peebles-Meyers' vintage accessories from an estate sale. We are honored to have these four bags in our collection.
