Great Black Women

African-American women have two strikes against them—their color and their gender. Hosted by Tanya Hart, this program looks at the women who succeeded, asking what drove them to challenge the prejudices against them, what enabled them to succeed and to make significant contributions in politics, entertainment, civil rights, business, public service, music, and sports. Among those featured are Coretta Scott King, Lena Horne, Shirley Chisholm, Tina Turner, and Oprah Winfrey, as well as Marva Collins, Whoopi Goldberg, Patti LaBelle, and "Mother Hale." (52 minutes)
