First Ladies

This hour-long documentary highlights African American women whose lives and leadership shaped the struggle for civil and women’s rights. Through personal stories rooted in Pittsburgh’s Hill District and the YWCA, the program reflects on community, resilience, and the paths these women forged toward independence, dignity, and social change.
