Have You Met Her?

Episode 87: Wa Wokiye Win - Matilda "Tillie" Black Bear


Listen Later

Join me this week to learn about this amazing Lakota woman who was the grandmother of the Anti-Domestic Violence Movement. Tillie helped thousands of domestic violence survivors by opening her home (and then the first domestic violence shelter for women of color in the United States) and then she organized and worked beyond shelter doors to advocate for legislation.

If you or someone you know need help, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 or text the word "START" to 88788.
