The Story Behind the Legacy

In 1968, Memphis sanitation workers went on strike, demanding fair pay and dignity. Among them stood Cornelia Crenshaw — the only woman on the strike's leadership team. A fierce advocate for unions, she risked her job and reputation to fight for justice, being fired from the Memphis Housing Authority after a 27 year tenure.
