Aretha Franklin
It may be a performance on the big screen. A video on a small screen. A soundtrack pulsing from the device in your hand to the buds in your ears. There are many ways to experience the sounds of Aretha Franklin.
Bessie Coleman
Bessie Coleman wasn’t born with a dream, but she had determination. And it was that determination that guided her decisions just as soon as she was old enough to make them for herself.
Clara Barton
Clara Barton was no ordinary 19th century woman. A model of strength, intelligence, determination, and grit, she was a role model by any calculation.
Jane Goodall
Once, when Jane Goodall was a youngster, her family had thought she’d gone missing, only to find out she had been in the family henhouse for hours, hoping to discover how hens lay eggs.
Madam C.J. Walker
Madam C.J. Walker's parents were sharecroppers. She was orphaned at seven, married at 14, and employed as a maid and washerwoman. Was it stress that caused her to begin losing her hair in her twenties?
Maya Angelou
Maya Angelou gifted the world with verses that sing of strength, courage, and the indomitable spirit. Her words resonate across generations, leaving an enduring legacy.
Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks had endured prejudice, bigotry, and injustice all her life. She knew this was unfair and unjust. What made it worse was that there were laws that supported the unjust treatment of black people.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Ruth Bader Ginsburg used her keen mind and her dedication to rise from being the daughter of shopkeepers in Brooklyn, New York to one of the foremost thinkers of our time.
Sacagawea
“Behind every great man stands a great woman,” the saying goes, and there is probably no better example of this in American history than Sacagawea, whose skills were essential to the Lewis & Clark expedition.
Wilma Rudolph
Wilma Rudolph didn’t have a long life, but she spent much of it teaching, standing up for justice, and serving others. First and foremost, though, she was a child sick with polio who grew up to be an Olympic gold medalist.
