The Civil Rights Movement has endowed the present with many legacies. One of the least known organizational efforts of the 1960s was an inter-racial, inter-faith, inter-regional, and inter-generational group of women working under the umbrella of the National Council of Negro Women who called their organization Wednesdays in Mississippi. This website is part of a larger project to record their story and preserve their legacy, and in the process to inspire the women of the future to work in their own ways for social justice and racial equality. As the Prophet Isaiah once said, "learn to do good; seek justice, rescue the oppressed, defend the orphan, plead for the widow." (Isaiah 1:17)
