Action of the Day
"Women and the Civil Rights Movement: The Untold Story" – a presentation by Elsa Barkley Brown, associate professor of history and women's studies at the University of Maryland-College Park – brings to light not only the names and biographies of women who individually played an instrumental role in the Civil Rights Movement, but also sheds light on the role of women as a collective force. Brown will focus on the story of the Montgomery Bus Boycott (and earlier transportation boycotts) and will draw from testimony, primary documents and historical chronologies.
