In this episode, we're talking about women, but not just any women. Women of the Civil Right Movement, we are kicking off Black History month. We discuss the history of the Civil Rights Movement including some of the well-known events and then talk about how women were not only involved in these events but also often held leadership roles. Then we consider how the media of the time viewed their fight, and how history upholds or diminishes their effort. This is followed up with further details on how women truly were the backbone of the Civil Rights Movement. Finally we discuss what how their struggles impacted women of the time and today.
