- Description:
- Alex McGee was born in 1989 in Atlanta, Ga. She was raised by a conservative single mother along with her fraternal twin brother. She is currently an archivist. She attended the Women's March on Washington in 2017. 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, Alex McGee discusses her family background and reasons for attending the D.C. march. She then discusses details surrounding her travels to the march and the day of the march. She also discusses further the women's movement and "me too" movement. - Metadata URL:
