Women of the Movement Emmett and Mamie
Women of the Movement Season 2
Women of the Movement Season 2 release date has yet to be announced by ABC. The television series has been on the air for a time now. So, the network will most likely determine whether to renew or cancel the series based on the ratings. We believe Women of the Movement will not be canceled since it depicts a historical fact about a powerful, activist African-American woman.
The network has yet to broadcast any trailer. We’ll let you know as soon as the official trailer is released!

The show opens on July 25, 1941, with a scene in which Mamie, an African-American woman, gives birth to his son Emmett. The plot then jumps to 14 years later. Emmett is a teenager who wants to visit Mamie’s uncle Mose in Mississippi. Mamie, on the other hand, does not want Emmett to visit Uncle Mose because of the South’s racist attitudes toward black people. After some consideration, she reluctantly leaves Emmett.
Episode 1
On the plantation, Emmett gets friends with Mose’s sons and grandsons. All of the boys feel hungry on one of Emmet’s vacation days, so they head to town to buy something to eat, where they shop at “The Bryants’.” Very naïve, Emmett tries to get to know the cashier woman who is a white. However, it does not end well for Emmett.
E2: Only Skin
After a few days of searching, Mamie finds that Emmett is no longer alive. He was discovered dead in a river, the victim of a gunshot. The criminals attempt to hide the crime. Mamie, on the other hand, does not appear to be willing to cover it.
