The civil rights movement is decorated with well-known names, but one that isn’t heard and known enough is Gloria Richardson’s. As a pioneer of the civil rights movement in Cambridge, Maryland and leader of the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee (CNAC), Richardson was a force and unapologetically fought for human rights in the Black freedom struggle.

Gloria Richardson passed away on July 15, 2021 and I’m grateful for her incredible legacy. There is a famous picture of her pushing a bayonet, held by a National Guardsman, out of her way as she protests in Cambridge. Her “who do you think you are??” face says it all and it’s one of my favorite photos!

In this episode, I provide some historical context about Cambridge, Maryland in the 19th and 20th centuries, and discuss Gloria Richardson, CNAC, connections to other civil rights groups, and the contribution to the larger civil rights narrative.
