African-American Women in the Civil Rights Crusades

African-American Women in the Civil Rights Crusades

Many African-American women took leadership positions in the Civil Rights struggles, including Mary Church-Terrell, Ida B. Wells-Barnett, Alice Dunbar-Nelson and Mary McLeod-Bethune. The women’s right to vote, education for women, ending lynching, and addressing racial and gender discrimination could not have been achieved without these women.

Syl Woolford celebrates the lives of four extraordinary women and the crusades they waged against injustice.

Syl Woolford is a native Delawarean who currently resides in Newark, Delaware. Mr. Woolford is a graduate of Delaware State University with a Degree in Business Administration /Accounting and a graduate of Rutgers University with an MBA in Marketing. In 2008, Mr. Woolford began researching his family history and expanded that research into a total revisiting of African-American history. He has been lecturing on African-American history since 2010 when he began lecturing on “African-American Soldiers in the Civil War.”  He serves on several historical preservation boards, and has received many awards and tributes for his work.
