Thank Ms. Richardson, Rosa Parks, Ella Baker, Fannie Lou Hamer and so many more women who stood on the frontlines. Your bravery inspires us and we have so far to go. Bless you all.

Disgusting comments down below. I’m proud of Gloria and all the black women that fought for their right! People saying that it wasn’t harder being a black woman simply don’t understand and like me can never truly understand how difficult how heartbreaking it was to live in the 60’s and even now as a black woman!

Glorious Gloria, My Beloved Sister. I was a part of that new housing in 1963, as the first newborn child of my young parents. My father was serving in the Korean conflict (1st Calvary) at that time, as well. We were one of the very first Black families granted to move into Public Housing among a majority of white people. Of course, after time, as more working class Black families moved in, the White families moved out. Arch Bishop Walsh Homes (better known as Grafton Ave/McCarter Highway Projects - Demolished 1994) Brick City - Newark, NJ. Thank you, Queen!

Courageous enough to push a gun/bayonet away, but not allowed to speak at the MOW. Shame on the men who decided that.

Isn't it funny how women are more vocal today some men silenced themselves on issues ?

[@douglassobolik8192]

Jobs and freedom...thank you for our historical facts that no one even cares about or wants to know about...the youth think we are stupid...and we are when we ignore the realities that plague us all. Keep up the good stories! We need to know the truth of the past in order to move forward!

❤🌿🍀Thank You for delivering info. I am 42, 163 cm, quite white color skin,...(scared to give my bar-code one day) from central Europe. I started to use my imagination after the society slowly brake the promises. My world, my country is without borders, violence, violence against animals. For me it is even not important if others-beings that breath are from this planet. I am only concerned we are all all right(or left). I see people with dark skin colour healthier and if I had an opportunity to choose where on Earth to live I will choose some place the sun is heating throug the year a lot and I will not hide from it:) From the top they did not deliver numbers to the bottom, they only make regulations to follow. But we are all intelligent and we can collaborate. My opinion is that in this way govern-ments need to act when the population reach a certain level. The most efficient acts are the most technologically advanced because no doctor with their machines can detect the cause. The good news is that those are not deadly -at the end- if you can see deep at the core of your being. Then the intimidator ones will become the scared ones. 🍀🌿🌞🌞🌞

Like Gloria Richardson, everybody wanted the microphone and to get on television. However, there was a limited amount of time.

Amy keeps interrupting Gloria
