Subject:

Description:

Black women played a critical role in the centuries-long African American resistance movement for freedom and equality. They demonstrated phenomenal organizational abilities and provided crucial behind-the-scenes support and leadership. Women were the midwives to the American revolution of the middle years of the twentieth century. This course examines the contribution of African American women in gaining fundamental human rights for persons of African descent. The lives of some of the major women participants such as Ella Baker, Septima Clark, Jo Ann Gibson Robinson and Fannie Lou Hamer will be the pathway to our exploration of the significance of their role.
