Gloria Richardson
Gloria Richardson Dandridge (born ''Gloria St. Clair'', May 6, 1922) is best known as the leader of the Cambridge Movement, a civil rights struggle in Cambridge, Maryland in the early 1960s. She was recognized as a major figure in the African American Civil Rights Movement at the time and was honored on the stage at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom.
==Early life==
Gloria Richardson was originally born into the affluent St. Clair family, which owned a successful hardware store and had also produced one of Cambridge's only black city council members. Blacks could vote in Cambridge, but with only a third of the population, had never been able to completely overturn Jim Crow laws. According to Richardson, her uncle died in his early twenties when he contracted a major illness but the segregated local hospital would not treat him. Richardson earned a B.A. in sociology from Howard University in 1942. The city government would not hire black social workers, however, and she focused on being a housewife and mother for over a decade.〔Jeff Kisseloff, ''Generation on Fire: Voices of Protest from the 1960s'' (University of Kentucky Press, 2006), p 52-54〕 In an interview with Robert Penn Warren for the book Who Speaks for the Negro?, Richardson comments that in Cambridge, blacks were "the last hired and first fired."
