Gloria Blackwell was married five times, causing a certain amount of confusion. She was known by her married name of Gloria Rackley during the years when she was most active in the civil rights movement in Orangeburg. She is called Gloria Blackwell Rackley in at least one book and there are articles where she is variously called Gloria Blackwell, Gloria Rackley Blackwell and Gloria Rackley-Blackwell, so I have made redirect pages for them all, because while one redirect may be sufficient for the search engine, an editor creating a wikilink may not bother searching.
