Federation of the Blind



When: March 27, 2021

Time: 11:00 AM EDT

10:00 PM CDT

9:00 AM MDT

8:00 AM PDT



Moderator: Denise Avant, NFB Board of Directors and immediate past 
President of the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois





In his 2018 banquet speech, National Federation of the Blind 
President Mark A. Riccobono recognized and celebrated the vital 
contributions of blind women leaders in the National Federation of 
the Blind. March is Women's History Month and we want to hear from 
and celebrate today's Black women leaders in our movement. Join us to 
hear from strong, intelligent and dedicated women in the Federation.

Joining us will be Dorothy Griffin, President of the NFB of Georgia 
and President of the NFB of Georgia's Atlanta chapter, Barbara 
Manuel, President of the NFB of Alabama, Suzanne Turner, 1st Vice 
President of the NFB of Ohio and President of the NFB of Ohio's 
Cleveland Chapter and Sabrina Simmons, 2d Vice President of the NFB 
of Michigan and President of the NFB of Michigan's Detroit chapter.

These powerful women will share their stories as they ascended to 
leadership in our movement. What brought them to the Federation and 
what are their contributions to our organization? How have they 
successfully led their affiliates and chapters?  How do they balance 
their competing roles such as work, wife and mother and involvement 
in the Federation and their communities? Who are some of their role models?

All are welcome to participate in this celebration of women in the 
civil rights movement of blind people.
