She worked as a researcher for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in Atlanta (1966-1968), and she was an organizer and later the associate director for the Interreligious Foundation for Community Organizations in New York City. In 1976, she went to work for the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) as the executive director.
