Duration 57 minutes
--- Featuring Click the Name to access the Segment below 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz, Host of Women's Spaces ---- ---- 1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: Originally, I was going to interview Molly Murphy MacGregor, but we had technical difficulty with the phone, so we are postponing that interview until next week. I will share some facts about her organization since it is relevant to this month of March. In 1980, the National Women’s History Project (NWHP) was founded in Santa Rosa, California by Molly Murphy MacGregor, Mary Ruthsdotter, Maria Cuevas, Paula Hammett and Bette Morgan to broadcast women’s historical achievements. The NWHP started by leading a coalition that successfully lobbied Congress to designate March as National Women’s History Month, now celebrated across the land. Today, the NWHP, whose name was changed to the National Women’s History Alliance (NWHA) is known nationally as the only clearinghouse providing information and training in multicultural women’s history for educators, community organizations, and parents-for anyone wanting to expand their understanding of women contributions to U. S. history. I will be playing some songs for Women's History Month and I will recite a poem of mine, More than My Hair:
More Than My Hair By Elaine B. Holtz I have come to declare I am aware that I am more then my hair. A simple statement but listen, I have lived for decades obsessed by my do. I thought that hearing the words, "I Love You," "I Want You," "I need you," "You're beautiful," were all connected to my hair. From hairdresser to hairdresser I would go, Hoping to look good and make a good show. Then a special man would know, I am beautiful enough and worthy enough To ask for a date, to ask for a kiss. All they had to see was the beauty in my hair. At a workshop, sighing in the mirror, eyes questioning, "What am I to do? I left my gel at home!" "Where's that brush? The special one, That makes waves and my hair stand up tall." It's been tough. It's been rough. "No more," I declare, "for I am more than my hair. I am that I am, and what I am is grand." ---- Our history is our strength. Check out important dates to remember in herstory at the National Women's History Alliance,, where the date descriptions were sourced unless otherwise indicated.
