Today is a great day to celebrate our Founder, Marian Wright Edelman!
Gulf Coast Freedom Schools starts on 6/22/26. If you know you know!

Today, on Marian Wright Edelman’s birthday (our Founder’s Day), we celebrate our founder and president emerita of Children’s Defense Fund.

Mrs. Edelman’s life’s work has helped shape the modern children’s movement. As the first Black woman admitted to the Mississippi Bar, a civil rights attorney, and counsel for the Poor People’s Campaign, she spent decades turning a fierce commitment to justice into action for children, families, and communities across the country.

Her vision continues to guide us. Children must be protected, cherished, listened to, and placed at the center of our nation’s priorities.

Today, we honor Mrs. Edelman’s leadership, celebrate the movement she helped build, and carry forward the charge to serve children.

🌊✨ Gulf Coast Freedom Schools is at the table (literally) with Impact 100 Nonprofit Workshop! Pictured are Latricia “LT” Brown (Co-Pres) and Rachel Iversen (Interim Exec Director).

🙌 Dr. Judy Bense did not disappoint! She offered incredible insights on the effective use of grant money, and her determination to get things done right is truly inspiring! 💪
