How One Woman’s Vision Lit the Path to Brown v. Board of Education

from The Black Boss Ladies (BBL) Platform

On this episode of The Black Boss Ladies Platform Podcast, we travel to Columbia, South Carolina, to honor Modjeska Monteith Simkins — the Matriarch of the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina. Before Brown v. Board of Education, there was Briggs v. Elliott — and behind it was Simkins, a fearless educator, health advocate, and civil rights leader who helped lay the groundwork to end segregation. From leading public health reform to serving as the first female officer of South Carolina’s NAACP, Simkins fought tirelessly for equality, women’s leadership, and community empowerment. Her courage and service remind us that being a Black Boss Lady means using your purpose to uplift others. #ModjeskaSimkins #BlackBossLadiesPodcast #BlackBossLadiesPlatform #TiffanyBLee #BrownvBoardOfEducation On this episode of The Black Boss Ladies Platform Podcast, we travel to Columbia, South Carolina, to honor Modjeska Monteith Simkins — the Matriarch of the Civil Rights Movement in South Carolina.
