In the summer of 1964 a quiet revolution began in Mississippi when a group of Black and 
White women reached across the chasm of race, class, geography, and religion to end segregation in America. This quiet revolution was called “Wednesdays in Mississippi.” The story of these brave women has never been told. It is a story of courage. danger, and transformation. The conversation continues!
