Freedom's Sisters - Honoring 20 African American Women

**CURRENTLY OPEN AT CINCINNATI MUSEUM CENTER IN CINCINNATI, OH UNTIL SEPTEMBER 14, 2008**

Made possible by a grant from Ford Motor Company Fund, "Freedom's Sisters" is a collaboration between the Smithsonian Institution and Cincinnati Museum Center that brings to life 20 African American women. The women range from key 19th century historical figures (Harriet Tubman, Ida B. Wells) to contemporary leaders (Dr. Dorothy Height, Sonia Sanchez, Myrlie Evers-Williams) who have fought for equality for people of color. This multimedia, interactive exhibition is designed to appeal to people of all ages and backgrounds, and is organized around the themes of Dare to Dream, Inspire Lives, Serve the Public, and Look to the Future.

"Freedom's Sisters" is currently open at Cincinnati Museum Center in Cincinnati, OH until September 14, 2008. (To visit Freedom's Sisters in Cincinnati, please visit cincymuseum.org or call (513) 287-7000) The exhibition will then tour eight selected cities until 2011 including: Sacramento, Memphis, Detroit, Birmingham and Dallas.

Reguardless of what group of people are responsible for making this possible. It is a blessing to the women of the civil rights movement as well as to the masses that this exhibit will inspire.

Peace

I don't know how long it will be there, but in Memphis, TN the "Freedom Sisters" exhibit is at the Civil Right Museum for those who'd like to take trip there to see it. My class went for some essay research help, since we are doing the "Freedom Sisters" essay.
