Link of the Day: Women in the Civil Rights Movement
This article proves their might be a silver lining to the fall of TimeSelect after all.
I can't recommend strongly enough Gail Collins' short piece about the neglected role of women in the Civil Rights Movement. Not only were women unjustly relegated to secondary positions within the movement, but other than Rosa Parks, they are rarely mentioned in most popular narratives of civil rights. This is a tragedy.
