Dorothy Bolden — Civil Rights Leader & Founder of National Domestic Worker's Union

Broads You Should Know is the podcast about amazing and noteworthy women from history, hosted by Sam Eggers, Sara Gorsky, & Justin Xavier. For more information about anyone we've covered on the podcast or to check out our sources, head to www.BroadsYouShouldKnow.com!

This week, Justin brings us the story of Dorothy Bolden: Blind from age 3 to age 9, as soon as she was able to see she was put into domestic housework. After years of hard work, she founded the National Domestic Worker's Union in Atlanta, which caught the attention of the Nixon Administration. She was also extremely involved politically, registering thousands of African Americans to vote, and fighting alongside Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights movement (they were neighbors).
