Larry Banks – 03/05 RESPONSIVE READING GENESIS 38:24-26 LEADER: About three months later Judah was told, "Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; and moreover she is with child by harlotry." And Judah said, "Bring her out, and let her be burned." PEOPLE: As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, "By the man to whom these belong, I am with child." And she said, "Mark, I pray you, whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff." ALL: Then Judah acknowledged them and said, "She is more righteous than I, inasmuch as I did not give her to my son Shelah." And he did not lie with her again.

TEXT NUMBERS 21:1-7 1Then drew near the daughters of Zeloph'ehad the son of Hepher, son of Gilead, son of Machir, son of Manas'seh, from the families of Manas'seh the son of Joseph. The names of his daughters were: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 2 And they stood before Moses, and before Elea'zar the priest, and before the leaders and all the congregation, at the door of the tent of meeting, saying, 3 "Our father died in the wilderness; he was not among the company of those who gathered themselves together against the LORD in the company of Korah, but died for his own sin; and he had no sons. 4 Why should the name of our father be taken away from his family, because he had no son? Give to us a possession among our father's brethren." 5 Moses brought their case before the LORD. 6 And the LORD said to Moses, 7 "The daughters of Zeloph'ehad are right; you shall give them possession of an inheritance among their father's brethren and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them. African American Women Fighters Dubbed the “godmother of the ” by President Obama in 2010, Dorothy Height was a leader to be reckoned with. President of the National Council for Negro Women for 40 years. She was also a staunch feminist, organizing workshops to assist and provide for low-income families. : Was a founding member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee in 1960. She coordinated and monitored lunch counter sit-ins and freedom rides. Nash was also one of the organizers who brought MLK, Jr. to Montgomery, AL to support the Riders.. Amelia Boynton An iconic image from Bloody Sunday — the violent attack on civil rights marchers from Selma to Montgomery on Marcy 7, 1965 — is of a black woman beaten unconscious, laying in the street. That woman was Amelia Boynton. Before that day, Boynton and her husband, Samuel, sheltered young activists, such as members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. She was also actually the first African-American woman to run as a Democratic congressional candidate in . Though she didn’t win, she managed to grasp 11% of the vote. A leader who wanted to end segregation in , Daisy Bates’ most high profile achievement was as the guiding light of the . She led the first nine African- American students enrolled in Little Rock Central High School in 1957, after first taking the school to court in 1954 for denying black students, even after the Supreme Court called for an end to segregation. Bates was also the president of the Arkansas State Conference of the NAACP. The civil rights activist fought for the right to vote, encouraging and recruiting people in her native and all throughout the South. At one point, her activism got her arrested and thrown in Montgomery County Jail, where she and her comrades were viciously beaten. She continued on, helping to found the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party, which raised national attention on the deep discrimination in the South. Her true spotlight came at the 1964 convention, where she spoke of her harrowing experiences in Mississippi and chastised leaders for ignoring the way black people were murdered for trying to exercise their rights. After was arrested for famously not giving up her bus seat, Jo-Ann Robinson jumped in to organize support for the Montgomery Bus Boycotts in 1955. She created thousands of flyers spreading the message of the boycotts to African- all over Alabama. She was a crucial member of the movement, also assisting with the carpools that took people to and from work during the boycotts. Septima Clark Once dubbed the “Mother of the Movement” by none other than Martin Luther , Jr. himself, Septima Clark was a teacher and leader in the education realm. The South Carolina native began volunteering for the NAACP in 1919, going on to lead civil rights workshops in Tennessee. She worked with on getting equal pay for black teachers and even accompanied MLK (who simply insisted) to his Nobel Peace Prize ceremony. Ella Baker was a highly respected civil rights leader who mostly worked “behind the scenes” advising, supporting, and mentoring greats like WEB Dubois, Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King Jr, and Rosa Parks. Baker’s reputation as a leader and movement builder earned her the nickname “Fundi,” which is Swahili for a person who teaches craft to the next generation.
