| Summary: | Civil rights activist and producer Judy Frances Richardson was born on March 10, 1944 in Tarrytown, New York, and attended Swarthmore College. Richardson worked with the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee in Atlanta in 1963, and moved with SNCC's national office to Greenwood, Mississippi during the historic Mississippi Freedom Summer voter registration drive. Later, she became office manager for Julian Bond's successful campaign for the Georgia House of Representatives. In 1979, Richardson began working with Henry Hampton's Blackside Productions on what was to become the Academy Award-nominated PBS series, Eyes On The Prize I. She went on to serve as researcher and content advisor for the Eyes On The Prize II. Richardson co-produced Blackside's 1994 Emmy and Peabody Award winning documentary, Malcolm X: Make It Plain for PBS. A senior producer for Northern Light Productions, Richardson produced documentaries for broadcast and museum installations focused on African American historical events.
