Daughters of the Movement

We are legacy holders; a group of women who sat at the feet of those who were on the front lines of the civil rights movement. We carry the oral history, cultural values, and wisdom passed down to us by some of the revolutionary leaders who turned the tide of American history. We are the Daughters of the Movement. The Daughters of the Movement are sisterhood of women who have much in common. Our memories about growing up watching our parents at work overlap and intertwine, as did the lives of our parents--civil rights activists, artists, politicians, political strategists, religious leaders, and funders of the Movement. This unique sisterhood reaches women of all ages and advocates for social justice.
