Gloria Richardson

Gloria St. Clair Hayes was born on the sixth of May 1922 at Baltimore, Maryland, the daughter of John Edwards Hayes — a Black-Baltimore Cambridge-Eastern-Shore senior pharmacist of the closing decade of the inter-war Maryland — and Mable Pinder Hayes. The family relocated to Cambridge, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in 1934 when she was twelve, and Richardson was raised in the principal closing-period Cambridge-Eastern-Shore Maryland Black middle-class household of her father across the closing decade of the inter-war period.

She was placed at six at the principal Cambridge Coloured Public Schools and at the Howard University at Washington, D.C. for the closing portion of the secondary education. She completed the bachelor of arts in sociology at Howard University in 1942 — among the early Black-Cambridge-Eastern-Shore-Maryland senior Howard University graduates of the post-1942 closing-period American closing-period programmes.

She operated across the closing years of the 1950s as the principal closing-period Cambridge-Maryland Black-Eastern-Shore senior community organiser of the closing months of the principal post-1950 Cambridge-Maryland closing-period programmes — at the principal closing-period Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore closing-period closing-period closing-period closing-period closing-period closing-period programmes.

She co-founded in March 1962 — at the closing months of the principal post-1961 closing-period Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore closing-period programmes — the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee at Cambridge, Maryland alongside the principal closing-period Cambridge-Maryland-Eastern-Shore SNCC field organisers of the closing months of 1962. She served the Cambridge Nonviolent Action Committee as the principal chairperson from March 1962 to October 1964.

She directed the Cambridge Movement across the principal closing-period Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore Black-community programmes of the closing months of 1962 to 1964 — at the principal closing-period Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore desegregation and economic-opportunity programmes of the closing months of the principal post-1962 closing-period Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore closing-period programmes.

The principal Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore desegregation programme of June 1963 produced the principal post-1963 Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore National-Guard occupation of the closing months of the closing-period Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore programmes of the closing months of June 1963 to July 1964 — at the closing-period closing-period Maryland-and-United-States-Justice-Department closing-period programmes of the closing months of the closing-period post-1963 closing-period closing-period programmes.

She signed at the principal closing-period twenty-fourth of July 1963 — at the principal closing-period Maryland-Governor-J.-Millard-Tawes Eastern-Shore Cambridge-Maryland desegregation closing-period programmes — the principal Treaty of Cambridge alongside the principal closing-period Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore Black-and-white closing-period programmes leadership and the principal United States Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.

She relocated to New York City in 1964 at the close of the principal closing-period Cambridge-Maryland Eastern-Shore Movement closing-period programmes and operated across the closing years of the post-1964 American closing-period programmes in New York City the principal closing-period Brooklyn-Anti-Poverty-Operation-Brooklyn closing-period closing-period programmes.

She died at New York on the fifteenth of July 2021 of complications of natural causes, at ninety-nine.

She is honored here as the leader of the Cambridge Movement.
