Join Maryland Public Television as we celebrate some amazing women, from activists to entertainers and more. Alpha Kappa Alpha: A Legacy of Service, narrated by Phylicia Rashad, documents the 115-year history of one of the nation's oldest African American women's organizations. Independent Lens: Storming Caesars Palace is the story of activist Ruby Duncan, who led a grassroots movement of mothers who challenged presidents, the Vegas mob, and everyday Americans to fight for a universal basic income and rethink their notions of the "welfare queen."  Also on MPT, the incomparable, trail-blazing talent of Joni Mitchell is celebrated in Washington, DC's historic DAR Constitution Hall by a cadre of musical stars who all drew inspiration from the woman many consider to be the most influential musical artist of her time on Joni Mitchell: The Library of congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. American Masters: Roberta follows music icon Roberta Flack from a piano lounge through her rise to stardom. From "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" to "Killing Me Softly," Flack's virtuosity was inseparable from her commitment to civil rights. Detailing her story in her own words, the film features exclusive access to Flack's archives and interviews with Rev. Jesse Jackson, Peabo Bryson and more.
