Delve into special collections this month highlighting the achievements and contributions of Black women throughout history, from civil rights leaders to cultural icons.
In March, we celebrate Women’s History Month, a time to reflect on the generations of women who have fought for equality, challenged injustice, and reshaped our world. Their work has been as diverse as the women themselves – spanning movements for voting rights, labor protections, education, civil rights, and more.
Many times, their names have been forgotten or their impact understated. Today, we honor them. We say their names.
Uncover the names of women who have played pivotal roles in advancing racial and social justice.
March is Women's History Month, which traces its roots to the feminist movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Culturally, it serves as a time to spotlight the remarkable accomplishments of women who have shattered barriers and pioneered change.
