Keepers of the Dream
Women were at the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement. Coretta Scott King, Ella Baker, and Rosa Parks helped keep Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream alive and helped pave the way for equality.
Ruby Bridges’ silent protest inspired contemporary teenage activist Eva Lewis. Fannie Lou Hamer’s fight for voting rights motivated Tracey Abrams to carry the torch for justice. An inspiring program highlights the stories of past and present female advocates for change.
