Through a commitment to faith-based activism, civil rights, and feminism, Hedgeman participated in and led some of the 20th century's most important developments, including advances in education, public health, politics, and workplace justice. Simultaneously a dignified woman and scrappy freedom fighter, Hedgeman's life upends conventional understandings of many aspects of the civil rights and feminist movements. She worked as a teacher, lobbyist, politician, social worker, and activist, often crafting and implementing policy behind the scenes. Although she repeatedly found herself a woman among men, a black American among whites, and a secular Christian among clergy, she maintained her conflicting identities and worked alongside others to forge a common humanity. 600 10 Hedgeman, Anna Arnold,|d1899-1990. 600 17 Hedgeman, Anna Arnold,|d1899-1990.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00420296 648 7 1900 - 1999|2fast 650 0 African American women civil rights workers|vBiography. 650 0 Civil rights workers|zUnited States|vBiography. 650 0 African American women civil rights workers|zNew York (State)|zNew York|vBiography. 650 0 Civil rights workers|zNew York (State)|zNew York |vBiography. 650 0 Civil rights movements|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 0 African Americans|xCivil rights|xHistory|y20th century. 650 7 African American women civil rights workers.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00799481 650 7 African Americans|xCivil rights.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00799575 650 7 Civil rights movements.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00862708 650 7 Civil rights workers.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00862721 651 7 New York (State)|zNew York.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204333 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 994 C0|bWHP
