"WOMEN" March is nationally recognized as "Women's History Month." Before the women's movement in the 60's, society in general felt that women did not have a history worth knowing. In 1978, Women's Week was born and has since evolved into "Women's History Month" to recognize the contributions of great leaders and pioneers such as Freedom Fighter, Harriet Tubman "Grandma Moses"; Congresswoman, Barbara Jordan; Actress, Sigourney Weaver and Women's Advocate Gloria Steinem. Ber-Henda Williams, Detroit poet/Author and Media Personality Sherina Rodriquez, Detroit poet and teacher for Citywide Poets.
