Lynette Long

Lynette Long, a former university professor, has published more than thirty books and dozens of articles in trade and professional journals.

Subsequent to her undergraduate studies, she went on to acquire a master's degree in Mathematics and Ph.D. in educational and counseling psychology all from the University of Illinois.

Long is the Founder and President of Equal Visibility Everywhere (EVE), a not-for-profit that focuses on researching the under-representation of women on our nation's symbols and icons: currency, stamps, statues, Google Doodles, monuments and memorials, street names, and historical markers.

As a result of her ground-breaking work and the efforts of other feminist groups, the Treasury Department will feature women on United States paper currency.

[5][6]  Long was also instrumental in the removal of the statue of Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith from the United States Capitol.

[7] Long has focused awareness around the country on the general lack of female statuary which has led to an increase in the number of statues of women nationwide.

[10] Since 2017, Long has successfully applied for and found funding for numerous Florida State Historical Markers honoring women including, Miami Founder Julia Tuttle, [11] Miami Beach Preservationist Barbara Baer Capitman, Aviatrix Amelia Earhart,[12] Doctor Eleanor Galt Simmons,[13][14] and Seminole Chief Betty Mae Tiger Jumper.

[18] A former elementary and middle school principal, Long noticed her students wearing house keys on chains around their necks.

Long's research on Latchkey Children has been reported by every major news outlet and in hundreds of magazine and newspaper articles.

The exhibits included the annual "The Legacy Couple's Project: 400+ Years of LGBTQ Love," (2022) sponsored by Miami Beach Pride,[30] "Women Who Made a Difference" (2020) and "Unfinished Business" (2020) commemorating the 100th Anniversary of Women's Suffrage in the United States sponsored by the Miami Design Preservation League (2020).
