Freedom’s Sisters | Honoring the Legacy

Dare to dream. Take a stand. Make a difference. Inspire Lives. Serve the Public. Look to the Future.

The National Civil Rights Museum will feature an exhibit (Jan. 30 - Apr. 5) on women who lived by these challenging words. Ella Baker, Mary McLeod Bethune, Shirley Chisholm, Septima Clark, Kathleen Cleaver, Fannie Lou Hamer, Barbara Jordan, Mary Church Terrell, Betty Shabazz and other extraordinary women will all be showcased in this interactive and inspiring exhibit.


Sponsored by the Ford Motor Company Fund, the exhibit will visit nine cities, and Memphis is fortunate to be one. The exhibit opens January 24 and runs through April 5. For more information, phone the Civil Rights Museum at 521-9699 or click here.
