Judy Richardson, SNCC Digital Gateway.
Judy Richardson was on SNCC staff in Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama (1963-66). Her experiences in SNCC continue to ground both her film and education work. She is currently co-directing the new visitor center film for the National Park Service's Frederick Douglass House in Washington, D.C.
In 1968, she was a founder of Drum & Spear Bookstore, once the country's largest African American Bookstore. She was on the production team for all 14 hours of the seminal PBS series, Eyes on the Prize, as its series associate producer, then its education director, and then continued to produce documentaries for PBS, the History Channel, and museums. She co-edited Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC, a compilation of the testimonies of 53 SNCC women. She co-directed two NEH three-week teacher institutes, co-hosted by Duke University and focused on Teaching Grassroots Movements.
She is a member of the SNCC Legacy Project board, the SNCCDigital website editorial board, was a Visiting Professor at Brown University, and has an honorary doctorate from Swarthmore College.
