Gloria Richardson
A Howard-educated organizer from an old Cambridge, Maryland family, Gloria Richardson led the Cambridge movement of the early 1960s and became one of the first women to head a local civil rights agency. She pushed the movement beyond desegregation to demand jobs, housing, education, and healthcare, and refused to promise nonviolence when her community was under attack. A signer of the 1963 Treaty of Cambridge with Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, she is remembered for the iconic photograph of her calmly pushing aside a National Guardsman's bayonet.
“A first-class citizen does not beg for freedom.”
