Description
Through a Long Civil Rights Movement approach, I argue that Black women in Savannah, Georgia were instrumental to the success of the Savannah Civil Rights Movement by using relational organizing tactics as early as the 1940s. My thesis shows that women were bridge leaders, unifying Black Savannahians around community uplift.
