Aileen Hernandez says that “women were educators in many
ways” and during the civil rights movement “behind the scenes,
women were doing everything.”
Based on the readings about Leah Chase, June Jackson
Christmas, and Hernandez and what is said about them and
what they say in their own voices in the videos, describe some
of the things that women were doing behind the scenes and
how those things supported the civil rights movement. One-two
pages, double spaced, standard margins, 11 or 12 pt margins.
