Project Overview
Reflections of Resistance honors the evolution of Black women’s roles in civil rights movements, from the past to the present. Focusing on the unique yet collective struggles of three remarkable women, this piece highlights their individual contributions to fighting for democracy while reflecting the broader legacy of Black women’s resilience.
From the early days of the civil rights movement to the ongoing Black Lives Matter movement, Black women have faced immense challenges, often as providers for their families and organizers of change. This piece shines a light on the often-overlooked stories of Black mothers, sisters, and community leaders, celebrating their pivotal roles in shaping the fight for democracy.
Purpose
Reflections of Resistance aims to give voice to the untold stories of Black women, recognizing their continuous struggle for justice and equality, while celebrating their strength and contributions.
