Project | U.16. Long Civil Rights Movement: The Women's Movement in the South |
Project description | Interviews, 2013 and onward, conducted as part of the Moxie Project women's leadership program for undergraduate students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill under the direction of Dr. Rachel Seidman. Student interviewers were interns at Triangle area women's organizations, and conducted interviews with women activists and leaders in the region as part of their service. The interviews are part of the Women's Movement in the South series, containing interviews recorded 2010 onward, that focus on women's activism and gender dynamics that were central to the freedom movement and the backlash against it. Topics include reproductive activism, both anti-abortion and pro-choice; the emergence of second-wave feminism in the mountain South and its links to the civil rights movement; the War on Poverty and challenges to job discrimination inspired by Title VII; and the entry of women into the University of North Carolina. |

The Health Access Coalition is a project of the North Carolina Justice Center—a non-profit organization dedicated to economic, social, and political justice located in Raleigh, NC. Before joining the North Carolina Justice Center staff in 1996, Dozier worked with North Carolina Disability Determination Services as a Disability Specialist. Originally from North Haven, Connecticut, Dozier moved to North Carolina as a teenager. She graduated from The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1988, and is a wife and mother of two. Dozier is active in North Carolina’s Moral Monday movement, where she uses her expertise in healthcare to educate North Carolinians about policies that affect their wellbeing, families, and communities. She is also the recipient of the 2012 Advocates for Justice Lifetime Achievement Award for her work in helping disabled North Carolinians obtain unfairly denied healthcare benefits.
