Gloria Richardson was a pioneering civil rights activist best known for her leadership in the Cambridge movement in Maryland during the 1960s. She fought tirelessly for economic and social justice, advocating for desegregation, better housing, and fair employment opportunities. Her bold actions, including negotiating the Treaty of Cambridge with Robert F. Kennedy, left an indelible mark on the fight for equality and continues to inspire generations of activists.
