Women’s History Month

Welcome to our Women’s History Month celebration! Throughout history, women have played integral roles in shaping society, yet their contributions have often been overlooked or undervalued. This March, we proudly honor the remarkable achievements and enduring legacies of African American women who have defied stereotypes, shattered barriers, and paved the way for generations to come.

An National History From Mildred Wilson

Video production by COX and Jenny Li (AAMSAZ)

Mildred Wilson

In this video, we have the privilege of hearing from Mrs. Mildred Wilson, a retired educator from Tucson Unified School District, as she takes us back to the monumental year of 1957 in Little Rock, AR.

Mrs. Wilson graced us with her presence and shared her experience, as an adult, during that pivotal time. She vividly recounts being a part of that community during the integration of Little Rock Central High School.
