Monica O. Montgomery, Executive Director of the Prince George's African American Museum and Cultural Center. The 2019 theme for Women's History Month is "Visionary Women: Champions of Peace and Nonviolence." As the National Women's History Alliance website explained, "This year we honor women who have led efforts to end war, violence, and injustice and pioneered the use of nonviolence to change society." Given the theme for this year, it is certainly appropriate for us to lead our celebration with Ms. Montgomery, because she is an arts and culture innovator, who uses creativity and narrative as a means of bridging the gap between people and movements.
