The Unsung Women Behind America's March on Washington
Original: The Unsung Women Behind America’s Most Celebrated Civil Rights Protest
The New York Times highlights the overlooked women who organized and sustained America's most celebrated civil rights protest, the 1963 March on Washington. The piece revisits their roles in planning and leadership, which were often minimized at the time, and adds to ongoing efforts to give fuller credit to women in civil rights history.
Why now: Renewed public interest in correcting the historical record on women's contributions to the civil rights movement.
