Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1913 Birthplace Huttig, Arkansas Death Date 1999 Occupation Activist, Journalist Biographical Text Daisy Bates’ fight for justice began long before the world knew her name. As a black woman born and matured prior to the Civil Rights Movement, she experienced the segregation and legal racism that came because of her skin tone. When she was a child, one of the first encounters she had with prejudice was when a butcher chose to keep serving the white clientele even after she placed her order for some meat (Calloway-Thomas, Garner, 1996). Though the separation by skin color was a part of her culture, this was one of the first times that being an African American disadvantaged her. As she grew older and more involved as an activist for equality, her business as a newspaper company, State Press, came under frequent boycotting. These obstacles seemed to fuel Daisy’s passion for justice even more. When faced with an obstacle, she didn’t back off or give up, she threw her whole being into dismantling the injustice and doing so in a way that would send ripples throughout history for her daring to change the norm. A significant event of the Civil Rights Movement was the Supreme Court case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954). This case determined that the segregation by skin color was unconstitutional in schools, striking down the previous case that had shaped state and federal laws, Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which stated segregation was allowed as long as the groups were treated equally. The implications of Brown v. Board of Education were widespread, tumultuous, and contributed to the movement in America that fought for the equality of people of color. Though the court case changed the laws of the land, application was difficult and long in coming. To begin desegregating schools, especially of the progressively stagnant southern states, a leader was needed to organize, implement, and follow through with the plans. Such a person was found in Daisy Bates, a woman who dared to change the social climate for nine students of color to become enrolled at an all-white institute, Central High School, in Little Rock, Arkansas. Why was this school so important? The integration of Central High School could fill many textbooks with the layers of its complexity. Due to it being the very first school to become desegregated since Brown v. Board of Education three years previous was decided, there was a plan set in place to integrate nine students of color into the school, and to make sure they were safe going to and from the institution. Daisy Bates’ house became the official meeting place for the students prior to attending school and before returning home. She was active in ensuring the safety of the nine students. The world needed a strong person to champion this cause and Daisy Bates was the woman who fit the job description. Because she successfully integrated the nine students into Central High School, it became an example of a school desegregation. This was the beginning of other schools following suit, though there were many other struggles that came with this movement (Jacoway, 2007). Most well known for her spearheading of the Little Rock desegregation, Daisy Bates was involved long afterwards in the social justice movement. She was a prominent speaker at rallies and conferences and a true leader. Heavily involved especially during the Civil Rights Movement, including working with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the Southern Christian Leadership Conference executive committee. When former President Lyndon B. Johnson was in office, she was a part of the anti-poverty programs. Even after suffering a stroke in 1959, she remained involved in her local community, in bettering different parts of their town such as the streets and sewage system. She passed away on November 4, 1999, after a long and full life of campaigning for human rights.

Jingyu is widely regarded as a pioneer of the women's movement in China. She wrote articles about problems that Chinese women faced and called for women to unite and fight for social, political, and economic rights. She worked to initiate public schools for girls and to organize working women. She founded the China Women's Federation, which gave Chinese women the start for a nation-wide movement. Jingyu was active in trying to secure workers rights and organized ten thousand female workers from silk factories to strike in 1924. She continued her activity amongst growing political turmoil. In 1927, Chiang Kai-Shek started a counter-revolution, but instead of fleeing Jingyu continued to help the workers' movement. She was arrested in 1928 and executed by Guomindang police.

Born on a reservation, Zitkala-sa was sent to a boarding school as part of an American movement to force assimilation on the Native population. After graduation, she attend college and became a prolific writer. Her writings were widely circulated in the early 1900s, appearing in the Atlantic Monthly and Harper’s Monthly. Among her most famous pieces, Why I am Pagan, spoke of the pressure on Native Americans to conform to Christianity. A political activist, she also exposed major American corporations which defrauded Native Americans by using robbery and even murder to gain control of their oil-rich land. The work paved the path for the government to pass the Indian Reorganization Act of 1924. Bibliography Capaldi, Gina.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1898 Birthplace Charleston, South Carolina, USA Death Date 1987 Occupation Educator and Civil Rights Activist Biographical Text Septima Clark was an educator and civil rights activist who developed literacy and citizenship workshops that were crucial to the campaign for voting rights for African Americans in the south during the 1960s. Clark grew up a strictly segregated society which shaped her outlook on social justice. Because she was African American, her elementary education was not at the same level as white children. A high school opened in 1914 so that she could graduate and take a state examination to start teaching. As an African American, she was barred from teaching in the Charleston public schools, but she could teach on the Sea Islands. Gross disparities represented white and black education. She became politically involved in 1919 when she started actively attending NAACP meetings. She settled in Columbia, South Carolina where she taught at the Booker T. Washington High School. Clark is still remembered as an outstanding educator. She taught there for eighteen years and became more involved in civil rights activism. Clark went on to study with W.E.B. DuBois and earned Bachelor's and Master's degrees. She was an influential figure in the long Civil Rights Movement and one that is too often forgotten. Bibliography McFadden, Grace Jordan.

Doyle didn’t know until 1984 that it was she who inspired the print and the name “Rosie the Riveter”.

Cohen was sent from her home of Russia to the United States (he father had already emigrated) to escape Russian persecution of Jewish families. Born Rahel, she changed her name to Rose to avoid discrimination. She went to work in the sweatshops of the garment industry to help her father raise money to secure passage for her mother and siblings. Rose may have looked at the newly installed Statue of Liberty and thought that with a woman standing watch over its harbor that the US was truly an equitable place—she would have been incredibly wrong. Cohen lived in a slum area called a tenement—dirty, rundown, crowded buildings where workers lived and disease and violence was rampant. At work, she continually suffered sexual harassment. The first sentence that she learned in English was, "Keep your hands off, please." (Cohen, 85) Although not her first language, Cohen became comfortable enough writing English to publish an autobiography, Out of the Shadow: A Russian Jewish Girlhood in the Lower East Side. In her story, Cohen provides a detailed account of the garment trade, unionization, and the life of a Jewish immigrant. Her autobiography and other writings detail the poor treatment of workers, and those of immigrants. Wage-earning women were treated as dispensable. They were used and abused and then tossed away when the industrial machine had taken their value. Cohen managed to gain an education and rise above the sweatshop, but her death at the age of 45 under uncertain circumstances (thought to be suicide) provides a tragic ending to her story.

They were paid approximately half the wages as men and few were organized into labor unions. Although men were paid better than women, they too suffered long hours, low wages, unsafe conditions, and a system that kept them dependent on their employers. Industrial workers had little, if any, control over work relations. "Mother" Jones, Mary Harris Jones, devoted her life to improving work conditions for men and women. After losing her husband and four children to yellow fever, Jones moved to Chicago where she ran a dressmaking business. Her husband had been an active union member and Jones threw herself into the cause. She traveled constantly—carrying everything she owned in a black shawl. A great orator, she could rally workers to the union cause. She organized workers regardless of race, gender, or age and fomented great change for workers.

After witnessing high childbirth mortality rates among the working classes and seeing the economic burden that large families placed on the lower-economic classes, she openly advocated that birth control information should be legal. She opened the first birth control clinic in the US , after which she was arrested for distributing contraceptives. Sanger argued that knowledge of birth control would lead to greater social equality. She founded the American Birth Control League, which later became Planned Parenthood. Bibliography Baker, Jean H.

Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1860 Birthplace Cedarville, Illinois, USA Death Date 1935 Occupation Social worker Biographical Text Born Laura Jane Addams, she was the first American woman to be awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, which she was given in 1931. She was best known for her reform efforts, and for being a pioneer in social work. She was also a feminist who took part in the women’s suffrage movement urging politicians to grant women the vote. Addams, with Ellen Gates Starr, started the settlement house movement, which emphasized cultural connections and education. Hull House, Addams' Chicago settlement house, attempted to keep families and communities safe by providing a place for civic, cultural, recreational, and educational activities. Hull House drew noted lecturers and was the center of social reform activity. The Hull House group (including Florence Kelley and Julia Lathrop) became involved in local and state campaigns for better housing, public welfare programs, child labor laws, and labor legislation for women. Deemed by historians as Progressives, these women greatly influenced their municipalities and labor legislation as a whole. Bibliography Brown, Victoria Bissell. The Education of Jane Addams.
