Barbara Smith has a unique ability to build bridges between people who are different in experience, economic status, language, culture, ethnicity and race. As National Media Chairperson for the Million Woman March, Barbara was a key organizer of this historic event, which brought millions of women of African descent to Philadelphia. She has served on International Delegations in El Salvador, Nicaragua, Bolivia, Holland, France, China, Panama and the Dominican Republic. The order of service, acknowledgement from the family, pictures from the program, notes and poems from friends and acquaintances, and additional information can be found in the living tribute section of this website. There are several tribute pages.
Tribute pages one and two contain information from the going home services.
Tribute three contains comments from family, friends, and acquaintances. The family is overwhelmed with telephone calls at this time. Please understand how difficult this is for them. Mail can be sent to Ms. Asia Coney, Sisters of the MWM, 1805-B Patton Drive, Philadelphia, PA 19145. An obituary appears in the Philadelphia Daily News.
