Dorothy Foreman Cotton was a bold and highly effective civil rights leader, who educated thousands about their citizenship rights and inspired generations of activists to not only to exercise their right to vote, but to take hold of their full range of rights and responsibilities. The only woman on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s executive staff, she was a charismatic, courageous and consistently overlooked key player in the Civil Rights Movement, whose freedom schools, freedom songs and inspiring messages of the power within us all are profoundly needed today.
