Who gets called a leader—and whose work makes change possible?
In this Warrior Class discussion, the Instructors examine the courage, strategy, expertise, and institution building of Black women who shaped history. From Harriet Tubman’s rescue networks and Ida B. Wells’s investigative journalism to Fannie Lou Hamer’s organizing, Mary McLeod Bethune’s educational vision, and Katherine Johnson’s work at NASA, this conversation looks beyond familiar stories to ask what these women did and what they made possible for others.
The discussion also explores the leadership of Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Shirley Chisholm, Ruth Simmons, Ursula Burns, and Maya Angelou. Their paths were different, but each offers a lesson for anyone working to strengthen a community today.
Next in our Warrior Women Leaders series: the Instructors turn to women in Caribbean history—their struggles, leadership, and lasting contributions.
