Daughters of the Movement

ABOUT THIS EVENT

The Daughters of the Movement are legacy holders—a remarkable group of women who sat at the feet of those who were on the frontlines of the Civil Rights Movement:

Gina Belafonte—Daughter of Julie and Harry Belafonte
Suzanne Kay—Daughter of Diahann Carroll
Stacy Lynch—Daughter of Bill Lynch
Hasna Muhammad—Daughter of Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee
Ilyasah Shabazz—Daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz
Dominique Sharpton-Bright—Daughter of Reverend Al Sharpton
Keisha Sutton-James—Granddaughter of Percy Sutton

The Daughters carry the oral history, cultural values, and wisdom passed down to them by revolutionary leaders who turned the tide of American history. Their memories about growing up and watching their parents at work overlap and intertwine, as did the lives of their parents—civil rights activists, artists, politicians, political strategists, religious leaders, and funders of the Movement. In an inspiring live conversation, this multigenerational sisterhood will share their stories in order to empower and activate future generations.
