A Civil Rights Icon
In her decades as a civil rights advocate, Trenton, NJ activist Edith Savage-Jennings has had a front-row seat to history—and even more importantly, she has made history. As a teenager she helped integrate the Capitol Theater in Trenton. She went on to become a close friend and confidante of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Coretta Scott King. She was a major rally organizer and fund raiser for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. She worked with Black and White women in Mississippi to end segregation.
