Harriet A. Miller and Monica Wehrle
Harriet Miller and Monica Wehrle were instrumental in the formation and execution of three social justice efforts for Fort Wayne: the establishment of the Women’s Bureau in 1977, the creation of Run Jane Run – a multisport event for adult amateur female athletes- and their participation in the 2014 ACLU lawsuit advocating for marriage equality in Indiana.. All three success have made life better for women and the LGBT community. They continue to support women’s equality and LGBT civil rights at the local and national levels.
