We are excited that our 2020-21 exhibit SISTERS OF CHANGE, is now available online.

The exhibit honoring Dorothy Cotton and 25 other women change-makers of the Freedom Movement whose names everyone ought to know, was originally housed from January, 2020 to June, 2021 in the Atrium Tower of the Tompkins Center for History and Culture on the Ithaca Commons. We are happy that the exhibit lives on indefinitely in a new format for people to access anywhere.

Here is a piece from Good Morning America, first aired in January, 2019 in honor of Dr. King’s birthday, offering glimpses of the immense contributions of Coretta Scott King, Dorothy F. Cotton, Jo Ann Robinson, Ella Baker, and Rosa Parks.

In contrast to the title of the article, none of these leaders were primarily “helpers” to MLK, Jr., but rather, they were powerful change-makers and movement leaders in their own right. These women helped chart the course of history.
