She Carried Us Forward: Featuring Michelle Browder, Artist, Historian, and Health Activist
Michelle Browder is an acclaimed artist, activist, historian, and founder of the Mothers of Gynecology in Montgomery, Alabama. Her groundbreaking work restores voice and dignity to Black women whose lives transformed the fields of medicine, justice, and liberation – yet were historically erased. In conversation with GLIDE President & CEO Dr. Gina Fromer, moderated by Social Justice Director Naeemah Charles, this conversation on Black History and Futures will be transformative.

Praying for Justice with Minister Marvin K. White
On Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Minister Marvin K. White lead the crowd in prayer. The event was an interfaith commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s civil rights accomplishments. The prayer took the form of this beautiful justice-seeking poem in the tradition of GLIDE founder Janice Mirikitani.
We are sharing this poem on our website to uplift and inspire all of you in your own spiritual and justice-seeking practices. Enjoy!
