Episode 27

Modern Black Feminist Organizing

You didn't think the story of Black feminism ended at the Voting Rights Act, did you?

Turns out there were several influential Black feminist organizations in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. No one ever told me about the Third World Women's Alliance, the National Black Feminist Organization, the National Alliance of Black Feminists, The Combahee River Collective, or Black Women Organized for Action. So, this episode, I discuss them with so Professor Kimberly Springer author of Living for the Revolution Black Feminist Organizations, 1968–1980.

Though they no longer exist, these organizations lend us valuable present insight.
