Publisher's summary
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.

Story
In a rarified world of scientific research, a revolution has been brewing. Its activists are not anarchists, but rather Nobel Laureates in physics and economics and pony-tailed graduates, mathematicians, and computer scientists from all over the world. They have formed an iconoclastic think-tank and their radical idea is to create a new science: complexity. They want to know how a primordial soup of simple molecules managed to turn itself into the first living cell--and what the origin of life some four billion years ago can tell us about the process of technological innovation today.

Story
At the height of World War II, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, was home to 75,000 residents, consuming more electricity than New York City. But to most of the world, the town did not exist. Thousands of civilians - many of them young women from small towns across the South - were recruited to this secret city, enticed by solid wages and the promise of war-ending work. Kept very much in the dark, few would ever guess the true nature of the tasks they performed each day in the hulking factories in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains.

In the six lessons of A Courtly History: Romance in the 19th Century, Professor Stephanie Insley Hershinow gives you a look at the complex and ever-evolving rules of romance in 19th-century Britain.

“Who are you?” Chances are you’d answer this question by describing the highlights of your personality and life experiences. But if you’d been asked this same question yesterday, you might have responded with a slightly different description. Does that mean you are a particular person today but were a different person yesterday? And what about tomorrow? Welcome to the slippery, shape-shifting nature of memory. As Professor Gabrielle Principe reveals, “you” are the conglomeration of the often-unreliable information your brain decides to feed you at any given moment.

There was a time, not too long ago, when talking openly about race was considered in poor taste. If you had good manners, you just didn’t talk about politics, religion, or race—not with your family or friends, and certainly not with your coworkers. Even now, many people feel the topic of race is better left alone. Professor Anita Foeman understands those worries. In How to Talk about Race, she addresses those specific concerns and others, giving common-sense guidance and step-by-step instructions you can employ to develop safe and productive dialogue about race.

The history of the Boston Tea Party is a hidden one. Why? Since it was a clandestine operation, all sorts of rumors and legends grew up around the event—many collected decades after the American Revolution had ended. At its core, however, the night of December 16, 1773, when colonials dumped tea from British ships into Boston Harbor, was more than a fight over tea and taxes. It was a struggle over the very nature of democracy and self-governance.

By the time of his death on July 23, 1885, Ulysses S. Grant was an icon in the historical memory of the United States. Just a few decades later, however, constant criticism of his military and political leadership had tarnished his reputation. Today’s historians have a far more balanced assessment of Grant as a Union Army general and an American president—and that appraisal is at the heart of Understanding Ulysses S. Grant: Portrait of a Warrior.

And how can we give our kids a healthier alternative to the anxiety of restrictive diets and encourage them to listen to what their bodies need? The answer may lie with “intuitive eating”, a mind-body approach to eating that has been shown to improve diet quality, self-esteem, mental health, fitness motivation, and more.

Great information, but terrible narration.
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.

Abominable 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.

Six Bios of Women Who Changed the Country
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.

Pity this woman's students
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.

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