| Description: This course will investigate the contributions of Black Women Activists to the Black Radical Tradition. Beginning with abolitionists Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman and anti-lynching activist Ida B. Wells, students will study the lines of continuity that link this generation to later figures in the Labor and Civil Rights movements, such as Ella Baker, as well as Black Feminists including the Combahee River Collective, poet Audre Lorde, and the leadership of the current Movement for Black Lives. Students will study the practices of these activists against the backdrop of the larger struggles for Black liberation. |
