- Description:
- Elizabeth (Beth) Ingram was born in 1947 in Atlanta, Ga. She lived in a wide variety of cities and states before moving back to Atlanta. Ingram worked as a nurse before retiring. On January 21, 2017, millions of people worldwide took part in marches to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump as the President of the United States. The first protest, which took place in Washington, D.C., was known as the Women's March on Washington and was intended as a response to anti-woman rhetoric and beliefs that were espoused during Trump's campaign. While women's and reproductive rights were at the forefront of marchers' concerns, many also protested the racist, anti-immigrant, anti-science, and other controversial sentiments expressed by the incoming Trump administration.
In this interview, Beth Ingram describes her experience with political activity, including working on a congressional campaign in the 1970s and marching in Washington, D.C. to support the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1980s. She talks about various ways that her father was also politically active. Ingram describes making the decision to attend the Atlanta March for Social Justice and Women with a group of friends, and she relates her experience there to her experience marching in the 1980s. She details her positive experiences at the march and talks about how the energy of the march galvanized her to stay politically involved since the march ended. She discusses her family throughout the interview, including her two children and her sister and their varying levels of political involvement. - Metadata URL:
