The fight for democracy and social justice is a collective, ongoing project. And those fighting for justice today cannot afford to forget the remarkable accomplishments of Black women who were activists in the Civil Rights movement. Their lives and accomplishments are a testament to the power of activism and to the enduring and evolving struggle for equality.

In her Audible Original, Black Women of the Civil Rights Movement, Dr. Wendi Manuel-Scott illuminates the lives of six extraordinary Black women—most of whom, regrettably, remain unknown to many.

For example, you’ll meet Gloria Richardson, who concentrated her efforts against segregation in her hometown of Cambridge, Maryland, and created the first significant grassroots movement in the American Civil Rights struggle led by a woman. Or take Mary Church Terrell, whose politically active career spanned nine decades and whose life and work are a shining example of Black women’s leadership in the early 20th century. Equal parts educational and inspirational, these six lectures are a stirring lesson in the importance of recovering lost stories and amplifying marginalized voices.

Awesome job with these lectures. The passion that these lectures were delivered made these very informative presentations very interesting.

Excellent Narrative!

I enjoyed learning about women of the civil rights movement - some of whom I knew about partially, but gained more information here; some I knew nothing about before listening to this book. However, the narration was terrible and much like listening to someone’s scrape fingernails on a blackboard. Not only was vocal variety, seemingly misused, placing emphasis on various words for no discernible reason, but it seemed as though the narrator, (who I believe is also the author of the lectures), had never read the material prior to reading it for this audiobook, Based on the vocal inflection, that seemed to end a sentence only to have to add on one final word that was actually the ending. Great material that could only be improved with a different narrator.

Great information, but terrible narration.

The content was likely solid but the reviewer will notice the common thread amongst the reviews: a narration so exceptionally awful that it distracts from the content itself.

Abominable narration

Here are six short biographies of six women who made a serious difference in advancing civil rights in America. I had not heard of any of them before, which is sad, because it is obvious that each of these heroines made a substantial difference, often at great risk to themselves. It’s a very worthwhile collection.

I love hearing about women and others who defied injustices like this! But I would have rather read the book.

The topics are probably interesting, but this professor's delivery is unlistenable. The constant overemphasizing,overenunciating, lack of pacing and overemoting is exhausting. It reminds me of trying to listen to Katie Couric hosting Jeopardy: this weird patronizing tone like they're speaking to children.

Pity this woman's students

No need to read like that. It takes away from the information. Seems disingenuous . Much appreciated

Good information

I'm almost 70 YO and had not heard of these women. I don't understand why people are afraid of history.

interesting
