Margaret Prescod

Margaret Prescod was home watching the news one night when she heard a shocking story: eleven women had been murdered by a serial killer in southern LA, the city she called home. Margaret, a freedom fighter since the day she was born, wasn't about to sit and watch as more women became victims. Knowing the police weren't likely to take the deaths of lower income black women seriously, she founded the Black Coalition Fighting Back Serial Murders and began an almost thirty year journey that would lead to one man's arrest—one man responsible for the deaths of potentially hundreds of women.
