Program Description
From the first female slave stepping ashore from a slave ship to Michelle Obama, the first African American First Lady, all women of color have had to face daily challenges and struggles. In the fight against prejudice, bias, social and political limitations, many have risen as heroes, and some have emerged as true beacons of hope for us all. They shared 'The Spirit To Overcome.' This program takes students back to the early days of slavery with women such as Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman. Children participate in an imaginary escape on the Underground Railroad. Other highlights include various historical achievements and an examination of some of the many firsts achieved by African American women. Included are Madam C. J. Walker who was the first American woman of any color to become a millionaire by her own achievements, and Bessie Coleman who was the first American of any color or gender to receive an international pilots license. The presenter uses costumes to transform into some of the characters and slides as visual aids for most of the women discussed.
