This month: DAISY BATES: FIRST LADY OF LITTLE ROCK

NCME's Jennifer MacArthur will kick things off by sharing impact strategies for engaging your community with Daisy Bates. As a black woman who was a feminist before the term was invented, Daisy Bates refused to accept her assigned place in society. Unconventional, revolutionary, and egotistical, Daisy Bates reaped the rewards of instant fame, but paid dearly for it. This unique story of a female civil rights activist is a great opportunity to spur conversation and jump-start your station’s Women and Girls Lead initiative. 

Bonus! Do you ever struggle with how to talk about the impact your station makes? NCME story reporter Erin Martin Kane will be on hand to explain how your station can better tell its own story. She’ll cover the essential elements of a story of impact, provide case studies, and collect story leads for your own station's story of impact.
